Re: tomcat including files from apache
Hi again. Apart from the standard mod_include in Apache (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_include.html) I was also thinking about another way. It may look less efficient, but it isn't necessarily. The trick would be to use s in the jsp pages which you generate. An has its own SRC attribute, meaning that you can put any absolute or relative URL in it you want. The difference is that it will make a separate request to the server. But if what you want to include is always the same, it would be mostly cached by the browser, so it may be more efficient after all. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

He's already doing that. The part to be included resides on another server, or at least in another document space to which Tomcat does not have access. The point is that the "include" shoud be done at the Apache level, after the Tomcat part has done its bit and sent the result back to Apache. At the Apache level, some kind of output filter should then process the include and insert what's missing, from the Apache-side document space. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

How would you do it if you wanted to have an "include" in a static html page served by Apache ? Then just put that in your jsp pages. No ? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
