If you're using apache with tomcat, there is no benefit to using mod_webapp. Mod_webapp does not differentiate between "static" and "dynamic" content at this time...if you use mod_webapp, all content will be served by tomcat. If you want apache to serve static content, and tomcat to server "dynamic" content, you want mod_jk.
I would remove references to mod_webapp in your configuration. John Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Peter B. West [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 10:55 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: More mod_jk/tomcat integration I have seen a number of questions about this in recent postings in the archive, so I am in good company. I am installing tomcat 4.0.4 with apache-1.3.23-11 rpms from redhat on a redhat 7.3 system. I had previously installed a beta version of 3.3 with the then-current apache, and I had the transfer of control from apache to tomcat via an ajp13 connector working. That was a while ago. Some questions: Is mod_webapp.so available in any of the rpms? If not, should I just remove references to it in server.xml and go with the ajp13 connector? What about mod_jk.so? It came with an earlier tomcat3.3 rpm. Is a current version still available in rpm? Why does the documentation refere to libexec/mod_*.so in a number of places? There is no libexec directory anywhere in my installation of apache. Neither is there a modules directory, but that doesn't stop the httpd.conf file referring to "modules/mod_*.so". Are both "modules" and "libexec" translated in the bowels of apache? Should I replace all doumentation references to libexec/mod_*.so for unix systems with modules/mod_*.so? One of the references to libexec/mod_jk.so is in the section on "Using ApacheConfig" inthe AJP config page. The modJk attribute to the Listener element within the Host element is said to have this default. modJk (and , I think workersConfig) is on the apache side of the equation, isn't it? Yet modJk and workersConfig (default "conf/jk/workers.properties") are supposedly referenced relative to CATALINA_HOME by default. This doesn't seem to make sense. What is the rationale for this?
