Hello,

can the mount directive be used for load balancing workers, too?
I found nothing about that in the docs. For example does this work:

worker.balancer.type=lb
worker.balancer.balanced_workers=worker1,worker2
worker.balancer.mount=/context

Yes, that's how it works. But this will only map the exact URL "/context", not "/context/myservlet". So usually you also want to mount "/context/*". The mount directive can be used multiple times.

If you use a load balancer worker, in fact you should mount via the balancer and *not* via its member workers.

On the docs page

http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/workers.html

in the table, where the "mount" attribute is explained, the seconds columns says "AJP,LB", which means, you can use it for workers of type LB (if you don't use an LB) or for LB workers. The missing "SUB" indicates, that you should not use it for sub workers of an LB.

Using the mount atribute is not common. Most people either use a uriworkermap.properties file (and JkMountFile in Apache httpd), or directly JkMount in httpd. But those ways of defining mounts are basically equivalent. JkMountFiles contents can be changed without web server restart and JkMount directives in httpd.conf are a little closer to the other context related httpd configuration items.


Thank You
