OK. That seems fine to me. Now, I'm using mod_jserv, not mod_jk, and I have things like the following in my apache/tomcat conf file: Alias /blah /path/to/tomcat/webapps/blah ApJServMount /blah/servlet /blah which I got based on the sample provided. I also added ApJServMount /blah /blah which wasn't in the sample but which seems to allow me to do some things I want. As I understand it, these ApJServMount's, tell apache (and/or tomcat) what the context is for URL's passed to tomcat. The ApJKMount directives you have don't seem to be doing that, they just indicate what the protocol is. I'm wondering if this could be (part of) the problem. Because it seems like the URL you're using wouldn't be matched by either of the ApJKMount directives shown below. Dear Milt, I've done exactly as you told me, but anything happened, could be this a bug of this version of mod_jk? Wouldn't it be useful to post it to the developers list? regards. Martin

Dear Milt, perhaps your theory is right, but take a look at this: I've renamed my file worksheet.html to worksheet.jsp and I've got the jsp extension redirected to Tomcat. but it doesn't work at all :( any idea? What is the URL you are trying? And where is the worksheet.jsp file located? Is worksheet the app/context name? Those JkMount's may tell apache to forward to tomcat all *.jsp URL's, but I'm not sure they're telling apache to forward to tomcat everything for that context. And it is the context for which the welcome-file is specified. The URL is: http://myhost:myport/worksheet/ and so worksheet is the context name, but the welcome page is worksheet.jsp and it's inside the directory worksheet. thanks. Martin my welcome looks like this: welcome-file-list welcome-fileworksheet.jsp/welcome-file /welcome-file-list and my mod_jk.conf looks like this: # # The following line mounts all JSP files and the /servlet/ uri to tomcat # JkMount /worksheet/servlet/* ajp12 JkMount /worksheet/*.jsp ajp12 Milt Epstein Research Programmer Software/Systems Development Group Computing and Communications Services Office (CCSO) University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But I'm not sure it's the "cleanest"/"best" way to do it. I believe that tells apache what to use for the directory index for that directory (or all directories -- which is even worse). But really you've already told tomcat what the welcome file is. You just want to get apache to pass to tomcat the relevant requests, and then tomcat will know what to do with it.
