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
You can run tomcat as daemon using Apache JSVC
(http://commons.apache.org/daemon/jsvc.html).Stock Tomcat distribution
has this in the bin directory. In fact you can launch any Java
application as Daemon and chrooting to a normal user.
