I'm trying to assertain just how Apache and Tomcat interact regarding aliases and rewrites. I'm using Apache 1.3.14 and tomcat 3.2.1 with mod_jk.c. I don't know if the latter is the 'latest' version. If I have apache configured to apply an alias or a rewrite rule to a reqest, I can tell from the logs that it is indeed getting applied: (2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /myapp/folder1/common/mypage.jsp (3) applying pattern '^/myapp/(.*)/common/(.*)' to uri '/myapp/folder1/common/mypage.jsp' (2) rewrite /myapp/folder1/common/mypage.jsp -> /myapp/common/mypage.jsp (2) local path result: /myapp/common/mypage.jsp (1) go-ahead with /myapp/common/mypage.jsp [OK] The idea here is simple: the request /myapp/folder1/common/mypage.jsp should result in a request for /myapp/common/mypage.jsp The rewrite rule works great. This works great for static stuff served up by Apache. The problem is that Tomcat is not getting the translated request, it is getting the original one. Since no file in that path actually exists, naturally it returns a file not found error. Could someone please tell me if this behavior is correct or if this is a bug in mod_jk? Should I be using apj13? (I just noticed that the mod_jk.conf-auto has the contexts mounted to apj12 so I'll try changing that). I seem to recall that JServ obeyed the results of rewrites. Should I try using tomcat with mod_jserv? 'Would seem like walking backwards... Please help clear this up so I don't spend too much more time banging my head against this.
