Hi Sutanay,
if you want to use mod_jk to connect httpd to Tomcat, there's a nice way
of mapping naming conventions to workers:
- mod_jk can read the name of the configured backend (Tomcat), called a
worker in mod_jk, from an httpd environmnt variable. By default it is
the env var JK_WORKER_NAME.
- httpd can set env vars with mod_setenvif and mod_rewrite, using
regexps on the URI etc.
For an example, see
http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/apache.html
and search for JK_WORKER_NAME.
I didn't try, but it is quite possible, that you can use something like
<Location /~>
SetHandler jakarta-servlet
SetEnvIf REQUEST_URI ^/~([^/]*) JK_WORKER_NAME=$1
</Location>
to forward any requests to ~myname/x/y/z to a tomcat worker named
"myname" (for all different myness with just one config).
Now this will send the request for /~myname/x/y/z to Tomcat, not simply
/x/y/z. In order to achieve this you'll need to also rewrite the URL
with mod_rewrite before forwarding. mod_rewrite can also set the env var
for you.
That's just the rough plot. It'll need a little experimentation :)

Rainer

I'm trying to configure a system (Solaris/Linux) so individual
developers run their own tomcat instances by setting the CATALINA_BASE
to their individual directories. They would be using different ports for
starting their tomcat instance, and we could preassign that. I would
like to configure the Apache web server (version 2.0) so that a request
as /~<USER_NAME>/webapps/<USER_WEBAPP_NAME> gets forwarded to the
appropriate tomcat instance. I would appreciate if one can give me some
pointers on how to do this.
Thanks,
