Hi, I use mod_jk with Apache 1.3.23 and Tomcat 4.0.2b.
I deploy everything on Tomcat, and configure DocumentRoot to point to Tomcat's appropriate directory, say $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/myapp. It works w/ problems. I don't think that the AddType, AddHandler stuff is for you. That's why mod_jk and mod_webapp were invented. (with mod_jk you use eg. "JkMount /*.jsp ajp13" in apache httpd.conf to tell apache to let tomcat process JSPs using the AJP v 1.3 connector).

When a JSP file requested, Apache would pass it to the |registered Tomcat web app for compilation and execution, and Tomcat |would pass the response back to Apache. | |I'd think this could be done with Apache's AddType, AddHandler and |Action directives to cause .jsp files to be automatically passed to |Tomcat. It would work something like this: | |#register jsp type |AddType text/html .jsp | |# register handler for type |AddHandler tomcat .jsp | |# specify WebAppConnection as "path" for handler |Action tomcat WebAppConnection | |This way, all the web content (including JSP) would reside on the Apache |machine, all the Java stuff would be on the Tomcat machine, and there |would be a better separation between the two. | |Jack | | |-- |To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> |For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> |Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
