Hi, well a short explanation follows then.
Since we want to alias our dynamic resources (which are to be served by Tomcat+JBoss) in Apache we have to use mod_rewrite and mod_proxy. We need the proxy because the rewritten urls don't get sent to tomcat, Apache treats them as files. If we proxy those rewritten urls back to the same virtual host, they get sent to tomcat. The only problem is that the webcontext is hardwired in the session cookie by Tomcat. And since the webcontext must be rewritten for the whole thing to work too, session cookies don't work anymore (the client doesn't send them back because of the different path). The Sun RI sets the session cookie path to "/". That would work in our situation too. Can I hope some sort of a remedy of this problem in a short time, what do you think? Cheers & thanks.
