At the risk of violating your request (not to point you to the documentation), I'm going to point you at the documentation.
In particular: manual/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassreverse (from the Apache httpd docs) This will rewrite response URLs. However, there is a caveat. It will not rewrite any absolute URLs within the documents served. So if you have /context/somewhere/someplace inside a particular page, this link will be returned intact and the user will not be able to reach it. Again according to the document, you'll need to look at Nick Kew's mod_proxy_html (http://apache.webthing.com/mod_proxy_html/). There appears to be a tutorial on reverse proxying at that location as well. You may find it far easier to just rename the war file to ROOT.war and be done with it. . . . . just my two cents /mde/ ----- Original Message ---- From: Jeffrey Janner <jeffrey.jan...@polydyne.com> To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> Sent: Thu, November 4, 2010 6:56:20 AM Subject: Is there a GOOD AJP-based cluster reference? I've googled and not found anything very helpful, particularly nothing recent. I am trying to set up AJP load balancing using Apache 2.2.17 to Tomcat 6.0.29. I'd like to route root to the Tomcat named context (not root). From the docs I've read so far, I should be able to, but all the references in the returned html have the context name stuck at the beginning of the path, and I can't seem to get it to go away. I know I can just rename the context as ROOT, but I thought I'd try deploying it the way the dev team gives it to me. I've tried: ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster/context <Proxy balancer=//mycluster> BalancerMember ajp://hostname:8009 </Proxy> and ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster <Proxy balancer=//mycluster> BalancerMember ajp://hostname:8009/context </Proxy> Nothing seems to be working. Obviously, I'm not clear on some concept. Any help would be appreciated. Jeff p.s. Don't send me to the Tomcat & Apache docs, I've read them. ================================================================= Jeffrey W.
