Hi Tony and Jurgen,
Thanks so much for your replies. We're running Tomcat
5.5/Turbine/Torque/Velocity here, and I was able to have tomcat configured to
use port 80 instead of 8080. I have tried to edit the web.xml to make my
application URL as:
http://localhost/mywebapp, when setting:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MYWEBAPP</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
However, this will mess up Velocity's template link object, which couldn't find
servle path (I think it still be looking under /SERVLET/WEBAPPS kind of path
format, where in this case, servlet path is not there anymore).
If I configure web.xml as the following:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MYWEBAPP</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/S/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I'm able to access my application thru:
http://localhost/S/mywebapp, which is not 100% satisfactory to me.
BTW, how can I configure either Tomcat or Turbine to redirect the request to
mywebapp.com to localhost/S/mywebapp?
Thanks,
David

Hi,
Tony is right, albeit he only addresses the connector and rewrite issue. I
agree that it is better to run the servlet container in conjunction with
apache webserver to serve static content.
The problem I was addressing was that David seemed to be still using the
Invoker Servlet (mywebapp/servlet/mywebapp) which adds just another layer to
your Servlet, and is considered inseucure which is why it is commented out in
newer tomcat releases. With my solution (copied from m.e.t.a.'s web.xml)
there is no further need for the invoker servlet.
Kind regards
Juergen Hoffmann
