A simple workaround: Extend the DefaultServlet, then use super.doGet(), super.doPost() ... when your servlet doesn't want the mapping.

**************************************************
Once more with feeling?
Bill Barker, John Turner and others might recognize this question. Yes,
it's me AGAIN.
httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost 205.200.100.109>
ServerName foo.myfoo.com
ServerAlias www.foo.myfoo.com
DocumentRoot /home/webhome/myfoo
#deny WEB-INF
<Location "/WEB-INF">
AllowOverride None
deny from all
</Location>
JkMount /* tomcat1
ErrorLog /var/log/myfoo/error_log
CustomLog /var/log/myfoo/access_log combined
</VirtualHost>
server.xml:
<Context path="" docBase="/home/webhome/myfoo/" defaultSessionTimeout="60" />
web.xml in myfoo/WEB-INF:
<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Translator</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
Result:
http://foo.myfoo.com/hello/there
1. Apache passes everything to Tomcat
2. Tomcat can't recognize a mapped servlet, and uses the default
3. My Translator servlet will translate 'foo' from the subdomain and the
/hello/there URI into a form like "/real_servlet?a=foo&b=hello&c=there",
which is then redirected to.
4. Request for foo.myfoo.com/real_servlet?a=foo&b=hello&c=there
5. Apache passes everything to Tomcat
6. the real_servlet is a recognized mapping, and everything is
wonderful.
Except when it comes to the HTML.
<img src="/img/foo.gif" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/myfoo.css" type="text/css">
These requests are *also* being sent through my translator servlet,
which of course, results in little red "X" images and no CSS. The solution I've come up with is to serve all images/css/etc from a
completely separate virtual host.
<VirtualHost 205.200.100.109> ServerName img.myfoo.com DocumentRoot /home/webhome/myfoo #deny WEB-INF <Location "/WEB-INF"> AllowOverride None deny from all </Location> ErrorLog /var/log/myfoo/img_error_log CustomLog /var/log/myfoo/img_access_log combined </VirtualHost>
Here, I forward nothing to Tomcat, and let apache serve whatever requests it gets. And of course, I'd construct my links in such a manner:
<img src="http://img.myfoo.com/img/foo.gif"; />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://img.myfoo.com/myfoo.css";
type="text/css">
Finally the question:
Is there a way around having to use the separate virtual host to serve
static content?
