How Directly Run Servlet W/O Redirect From Index.html?

2003-06-03 Thread Peter Alvin
When someone types:

www.site.com

Apache serves index.html which I added an an immediate redirect to
load the "real" site's homepage which is a Java servlet.

Does anyone know how to configure Apache, DNS, or MOD_SSL to go
directly to the servlet for the home page?

- Apache 1.3.27
- mod_ssl-2.8.12-1.3.27
- openssl-0.9.7a

Thank you.  I tried DirectoryIndex but it looks like that looks for a
file on the filesystem and all my webpages are all served from the
servlet.

AFAIK, this doesn't work.

Apache (mod_dir?) doesn't pick up that index.jsp is a valid directory index 
file prior to the URL being tested against JkMount.

Can't you use a RewriteRule (see
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html) from within
apache to rewrite the default URL to an URL pointing at your servlet.

Or maybe even a configure a filter in your web.xml doing the redirect?

Yes, you can use mod_rewrite.  Most people are not proficient enough to do 
so.

Re: How Directly Run Servlet W/O Redirect From Index.html?

2003-06-03 Thread Tim Funk
In tomcat 4.X a welcome file cannot be a servlet. It must be a file. (This 
rule changes with servlet api 2.4) So for now, you can be tricky, for example:

I have a servlet mapped to *.cowbell.

I create an (empty) file called index.cowbell. I also make sure my welcome 
file listing includes index.cowbell, and I make sure apache knows about 
index.cowbell via the DirectoryIndex.

While index.cowbell, the file is not touched, index.cowbell the servlet will 
be invoked.

mod_rewrite worked!  Here is the solution:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/$ /home.htm [R]

This is a problem I've been grappling with for a year!  Thanks
