Using jboss with apache

[kinaa]

Hi all

I m setting up a server with my domain, I use apache as web server and jboss as application server (two machines)

I can forward the request from web server to app server and everything works fine, however, my domain requires me to enter as following....

http://www.mydomain.com//

in terms of ip address should be http://<ip address>//

Can I just enter http://www.mydomain.com to access my war file instead of input the war file name?

pls help

thanks

If I understand you corrcetly, you don't want the war name as part of the URL but want to access it via www.yoururl.com??? If so, try adding this to your http.conf file:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule (.*)\.(js|css|xml|xsl|html|asp)$ http://localhost:8080/yourwar/$1.$2 [P,L]
RewriteRule "^/(.*)" "http://localhost:8080/$1" [P]
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/

Thanks beyarecords, you re right, that's what i mean. Sorry, my english is poor...

but i still can not get your meaning. which part should I add these rule in http.conf?
in the virtual hosting part, or just add anywhere is ok? (as there has more than i domain hosted in that server)

I have 2 machine,
machine A (apache 2, dns pointed)
machine B (jboss 3.2.3, but in this case, just use the tomcat inside the jboss)

machine A forward all the request ( i m not sure the wording is correct or not) to machine B's tomcat via port 8009.

Ok,
in your http.conf file for apache add these lines at the LoadModule section:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so

Now at the bottom of the http.conf file add the following:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule (.*)\.(js|css|xml|xsl|html|asp)$ http://localhost:8080/yourwar/$1.$2 [P,L]
RewriteRule "^/(.*)" "http://localhost:8080/$1" [P]
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/

Of course localhost:8080 will be changed to the address of machine B. You also need to make sure that mod_jk.so and mod_rewrite.so exist in your apache/modules folder for this to work.

Thanks beyarecords.

Dear beyarecords,

I have similar question too.

However, I found that your example cannot cater for the following case
e.g. http://localhost/folder

It is ok for http://localhost/folder/ and http://localhost/folder/inside.html

Moreover, how to handle more-than-1-level folders
i.e. http://localhost/folder1/folder2/folder3
The regular expression you given cannot handle that case ?

I am not good at regular expression. Sorry for such stupid question.

It gives the error as when i access http://localhost/folder

The requested resource (/yourwar/:8080/yourwar/folder/) is not available.

It should forward the page to /yourwar:8080/yourwar/folder/ instead.

[beyarecords]

'/yourwar/:8080/yourwar/folder/'???

Don't you mean localhost:8080/yourwar/folder/ ?
