There aren't very many postings about this on the ML. Here is what I have found:
http://www.nabble.com/Apache-server%2C-Tomcat-%2C-SEO-and-302-issue-tf4124891.html#a11739112 http://www.nabble.com/Users---Search-Engine-Optimization-and-session-IDs-tf1101601.html#a2877375 Basic questions from a not so "SEO savvy" developer: 1) If we frontend with Apache but hand off all requests to Tomcat (OfBiz) does that really cause a problem with search engine indexing? One of the posts claims there is a problem with the 302 redirect that occurs using the mod_jk connector. 2) If in fact mod_jk uses a 302 redirect and that causes a problem with site indexing, that would lead me to believe that we need to use Tomcat as the web server and use default ports 80 and 443. This creates an annoying but solvable problem if you operate in a Linux environment. Most flavors do not allow binding to 80 and 443 with any user other than root. But I digress.... The question is, by running Tomcat as the webserver os OfBiz "search engine friendly." Will the site be indexed? I must believe that given OfBiz emphasis on eCommerce it is compatible with search engines. 3) The second post I referenced discusses the problem of jsessionid in the URL. Is this really a problem? Frontending with Apache is really the most desirable solution. We need to power multiple sites from the same backend and we were planning on using Apache name based virtual hosting.
