Hi Vinod,

I hope you can help you in this problem.

I have Fedora 13, jdk 1.6, jboss 5.0 and eclipse 3.5. Right now everything seems to be working fine but I have to include a separate Tomcat (tomcat 6) in this environment. i.e. I need to disable the tomcat instant that coming with Jboss and need to start a separate tomcat. Also need to use Apache to serve the static contents. Could you please tell me how I can disable the tomcat instant in Jboss and start a separate tomcat server?

Thanks, Vinod.

Just unmount the URLs, which serve the static content as shown in the configuration in the post-

JkUnMount /static|/* appB

Do not forget to store the static content in a directory, which is accessible to Apache.

2009-09-04T14:47:17.337+05:30

ok i ll check..
where u kept that static folder?
in apache or in tomcat or independent of these two folders?
And one more what is appB ? is it war file?

2009-09-04T14:43:32.553+05:30

Not sure if 'JkUnMount /*.js ajp13' will work or not. I kept all static content in a different directory (say static) and then unmounted that like below-

JkUnMount /static|/* appB

Also you need to have two JkMount directives instead of one-
JkMount / appB
JkMount /* appB

Why don't you give it a try on same pattern as shown in this blog entry, that may help in narrowing down to the root cause of the problem.

2009-09-04T13:59:48.686+05:30

See the JkMount and JkUnMount references in the post. You need to unmount the /js URL and get it served by Apache.

Also if required you may need to add something like below in server.xml to run application at root context in Tomcat.

<context path="" docbase="appA.war" unpackWAR="false" />

2009-09-04T13:48:34.910+05:30

Suppose your JS and JSP files are accessible using following URLs-
JSP- http://localhost:81/jsp/myPage.jsp
JS- http://localhost:81/js/myScript.js

To include the Javascript in JSP page, you should write something like-
@import url(/js/myScript.js);

Hope this helps.

2009-09-03T22:49:05.185+05:30

Ravi,

DocumentRoot "/path/to/the/content" is the absolute path of the content on disk not relative to Tomcat or Apache. Static content like JS or CSS are just a include in HTML/JSP files, so just write correct URL in the files.

DocumentRoot "/path/to/the/content" "/path/to/the...

2009-09-03T19:29:27.281+05:30

DocumentRoot "/path/to/the/content"

"/path/to/the/content" what should I give in this path?
is it path from Tomcat server or Apache web server?
and one more, how to access these static content say .js file in application?

2009-05-06T04:04:00.000+05:30

Can you possibly share what version of mod_jk you used. I have the following config:

Java: 1.6.0_13
Tomcat: 6.0.18
Apache: 2.2.11
OS: Windows XP

I tried the following two jk modules, but I can't seem to connect from Apache to Tomcat:
- mod_jk-1.2.28-httpd-2.2.3.so
- mod_jk-1.2.27-httpd-2.2.10.so

Thanks.

Hi, is mod_jk still the best way to put an apache server in front of tomcat/jboss. I'm just now upgrading from v3.2.5 to v5.

A few years ago I saw someone doing almost the same thing by using Tomcat in a reverse proxy setup with Apache. It was actually quite simple to configure. Have you thought about that?
