Re: Access static content ...

[Jack Lauman]

I'm using JBoss with Tomcat 4.1.27.  I manipulate the URL by adding
param-values that are parts of the actual URL to the web.xml file
I think this will work with a stand alone Tomcat.  It looks like
'commons-sandbox' project 'chains' is similar.

i.e.


  
baseURL
www.nwcascades.com
  
...

We include keywords, dropdown selects (as CDATA), almost anything
that is static from one page to the next.  Make maintenance a great
deal easier.

In the JSP pages we use things similar to the following to separate
the static content on apache and the dynamic content generated by
JBoss/Tomcat.

/">
<%=application.getInitParameter("titleText")%>
...

We found that the time it takes to do this is well worth it if you
have a global change that affects a large number of pages.

Hope it helps,

Jack

Re: Access static content ...

[Rodrigo Ruiz]

The problem is the "/resources" entry. If you map it to the default 
servlet, the directory name itself will not be part of the path, but a 
"root" for the actual one, so the default servlet will understand you 
want to get the path following "resources", and it is "". I guess the 
same will happen with the contents of the directory.

It seems that the default servlet cannot be configured to serve files 
from an alternative directory.

You could try one of the following:
 - Create your own servlet for "resources" requests. Perhaps you could 
subclass DefaultServlet, or use it in any other way.
 - Implement a Filter that redirects any request not to "resources" to 
your own servlet, and let the default configuration to work for the 
resources directory.

Servlets can't access static content.

[Andre Fonseca]

Happy new year all!

I am trying to connect Tomcat 4.0.1 with Apache 1.3 using Warp connector. I
can successfully pass servlets through to tomcat, but they can't access the
style sheets, images and pages served by apache.

Am I missing any configuration in tomcat ?

I would like to run:
http://machinename.com/servlets/login

Here are my con files


Server.xml 





httpd.conf -
WebAppConnection conn  warp  monster:8008
WebAppDeploy test.com   conn  /



test.com/WEB-INF/Web.xml ---

login
login


login
/servlets/login



Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Andre
