Thanks for your replies Allistair :)
2) In Apache I'm using mod_rewrite to rewrite requests to
mydomain.com/ to mydomain.com/myapp. I've implemented this behaviour by using
response.sendRedirect in a scriptlet in the index.jsp of my
ROOT app. Is this the preferred way of doing this?
Depends on what you want. If you want mydomain.com/ to be your web application, that's fine, your webapp needs to be the root web application. If you want mydomain.com/mywebapp that's OK too. You don't need a redirect of any kind. This functionality is setup using Context element configuration more of which is in the online Tomcat documentation :)
All our customers have links to mydomain.com/myapp/mypages, so it's
easier for me to keep this layout, than having my customers update their
links.
3) In Apache I'm using some aliases to serve images stored outside my
appbase from insisde my webapp (Alias /myapp/alias
"/path/outside/appbase"). I've implemented this by creating
context xml
files for all my aliases with appBase="/path/outside/appbase"
path="/myapp/alias". Again, is this the preferred way of doing this?
Same answer, it's not "best" practice.
I'm serving pdf files and thumbnails of selected pages. These thumbnails
total 200M and growing, so I'm willing to sacrifice the self-containment
of my app. Even though Yoav has given me a lesson in the importance of
self-contained apps previously ;) I consider my app to be as
self-contained as practically possible.
4) I've compiled jsvc and adapted the Tomcat5.sh to start the
server. If I do "Tomcat5.sh stop ; Tomcat5.sh start" to do a restart of > the server my machine hangs. If I allow a pause between stop and start then the
server starts with no problem. Is this a known issue?
Same :)
I have now added a restart target to my Tomcat5.sh that sleeps 5 sec.
between stop and start.
Thanks again
Trond
