RE: Index files and CGI UNDER TOMCAT
I think something like: indexServlet app_nr*/ should take all hits to that path, but not to specified files, to the indexServlet, which can parse the request URI to decide what to give you, depending on where you think you are.. because none of these folders will actually need to exist. Unless you really want to put files in them ;-) Its just a hunch, but should be worth a try as the real answer will probably look something like this. danny > -Original Message- > From: Hunor Nam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2001 9:03 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Index files and CGI UNDER TOMCAT > > > Hi. > My problem is: > > I need to use the attribute but in a different way... > > Our app. has many folders and I do not want to put an index file in each > of them... > Especially that it has more sub applications so I would need different > index files for different folders... it would be nasty to put one in > each of them and after that, if something changes to change all the > files... > I would like to have some kind of redirection set to some folder levels > (so everything beneath them to call its own index...) > Ok so it's not to clear...?

RE: Index files and CGI UNDER TOMCAT
Hi again,
Well, Danny thanks a lot. Your idea was god.
Almost perfect for my needs.
There is a big "bubu" anyhow...
This is how things look now:
Part of web.xml :
indexOfOneApp
app.utils.tomcat.indexOfOneApp
indexOfOneApp
/OneApp/*
the indexOfOneApp servlet:
public class indexOfOneApp extends HttpServlet
{
public void init(ServletConfig conf) throws
ServletException
{
super.init(conf);
}
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest
req,HttpServletResponse res) throws IOException
{
res.sendRedirect("/app/oneapp/oneapp.jsp");
}
}
Well what happens now is that (I think) because the oneapp.jsp is itself
under app/oneapp/ it gets traped in an infinit loop
(I have tried putting a System.out.println ("something") in the doGet
method... well, it was printing "something" all over again...)
Pleas do assist me further (I really need some god ideas...)
Thanks again !
Hades

I think something like:
indexServlet
app_nr*/
should take all hits to that path, but not to specified files, to the
indexServlet, which can parse the request URI to decide what to give
you,
depending on where you think you are.. because none of these folders
will
actually need to exist.
Unless you really want to put files in them ;-)
Its just a hunch, but should be worth a try as the real answer will
probably
look something like this.

RE: Index files and CGI UNDER TOMCAT
if you leave the * out of the URL pattern you'll only get directories, not
files in them, does that help?
or try /OneApp/*/
I don't know how hot pattern matching is in the config parser, but I'd
expect that to match anything ending with / even things with / in them,
which is therefore any directory but no file...
/OneApp/*/ should match ..
/OneApp/subdir/
and
/OneApp/subdir/subsubdir/
not
/OneApp/subdir/file.xyz
It would be cool if you could use regex in URL pattern..

RE: Index files and CGI UNDER TOMCAT
Yep your right but anyhow I managed to solve the problem useing
errorpages...
if interested here is the solution...:
I suppressed folder browseing and I made the error page to check
the URI and if it has the needed patern (OneApp) I make a forward to
oneappindex if it has the SecondApp patern I forward to secondappindex
and so on... :-)
Thanks a lot
By the way I used your idea in a another problem (so dont thing you were
not apricieted :-) )

RE: Index files and CGI UNDER TOMCAT
watch out, if this means that the http response code issued isn't 200 OK, you can find browsers refusing to store your page in history, and bookmarks. We used a similar scheme with perl CGI & apache, but its no substitute for preparing a proper handler. danny
RE: Index files and CGI UNDER TOMCAT
Wel, I made that in Tomcat Stand Alone, every web server has its own way
(I think...)
But here is what you have to do in Tomcat:
In the server.xml :
locate :
and rewrite it to :
This works for me... if its not workin' for you than try seting :
suppress="true" in other request interceptors .
