Hi Mark,

I have a little problem with the combination of Tomcat (guess WAS will be no
different) and Apache. Since I need all my Tomcat applications under the
same context (talking about how such a thing can influence my external web
structure, but otherwise I can't share a session between them) I was trying
to solve the issue that I want different directories being used by the
outside world (just consider that I have a lot of other sites linking to
/test1 and /test2... which I don't want to change).

As a test I tried to map /test1 and /test2 to my Tomcat context called
/mycontext with the following config...

    RewriteRule ^/test1(.*) /mycontext$1 [R]
    RewriteRule ^/test2(.*) /mycontext$1 [R]

... which works fine, apart from the issue that it forces an external
redirect (ie. status 302, resource has moved).  First of all this exposes my
context (not a big deal), but more important it is a round trip via the
client which is useless.

I tried a few other flags on the RewriteRule, but none of them seems to
work. So far I haven't found a diagram neither that shows when what is done,
and where the Tomcat plugin traps the requests.   Basic issue is that I
need to change the URL before Tomcat jumps in.

I hope I'm not getting off-topic with this, but it all demonstrates how
directory structures influence application design, and even how you present
your application to the outside world.

Kind regards,
Paul

Paul,

Can you provide some examples?

I would think that if you could isolate the J2EE part under its own 
context root then it should not effect the structure of the rest of the 
app.

Mark
