Message-ID: <20020108171305.T25458@carlisle.msoe.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.21i X-Spam-Rating: daedalus.apache.org 1.6.2 0/1000/N X-Spam-Rating: daedalus.apache.org 1.6.2 0/1000/N Hello All, I've got apache and tomcat working together successfully, arriving at this state by doing this : I downloaded the binary jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1.tar.gz and webapp-module-1.0-tc40-linux-glibc2.2.tar.gz from jakarta.apache.org. I've installed them, and followed the directions in the INSTALL.txt that came with the later in order to instruct apache how/when to hand-off requests to tomcat. All good so far. The sole purpose of the apache server in question is to serve user directories (i.e. using the UserDir directive from the mod_userdir module). I want to enable each user to create his own JSP's and servlets. So, my question is, what's the best way to do this? My understanding is this: - tomcat knows that it can serve stuff found in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps - i tell apache to hand stuff to tomcat via lines like WebAppDeploy newstufftodeploy localconn /newstufftodeploy and there must be a dir $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/newstufftodeploy/WEB-INF/classes/ for this to work. But how do I tell apache & tomcat that I have a webapps directory that's not in $CATALINA_HOME ? E.g. I'd like to tell apache that a request like http://my.apacheserver.name/~detertj/myexamples/servlet/HelloWorld is to be handed off to tomcat, and then, of course, I'd like tomcat to know where this is (cuz it's not gonna be in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps) ?
