Tomcat does not seem to forward image requests to apache..

[shankris]

Hi all
I am a newbie to JBOss 3.2.6. I have followed the instructions found in http://www.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=UsingMod_jk1.2WithJBoss to the best of my knowlege. However the apache server I have does not seem to receive the requests from Tomcat. I doubt if Tomcat forwards any requests for images to apache at all. How do I figure this out?

However, when I invoke a url of an image object directly (port 80) in apache, it does work. (Actually, I have a RedirectMatch directive which actually forwards the requets for all .gif files to another static content server - which might not be relevant at all to the current topic I am writing..).

Tomcat doesn't send requests to Apache. In fact, this is the way around. Based upon the mod_jk conf (and the JkMount directive), Apache will delegate the processing of dynamic content (ie jsp/servlet) to Tomcat.

See section "Assigning URLs to Tomcat" in this page
http://tom.unitn.it:8080/tomcat-docs/jk2/jk/aphowto.html

Post the content of mod-jk.conf so we can help you.

mod-jk.conf:
--------------
1 # Load mod_jk module
2 # Specify the filename of the mod_jk lib
3 LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so
4 # Where to find workers.properties
5 JkWorkersFile conf/workers.properties
6 # Where to put jk logs
7 JkLogFile logs/mod_jk.log
8 # Set the jk log level [debug/error/info]
9 JkLogLevel info
10 # Select the log format
11 JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y]"
12 # JkOptions indicates to send SSK KEY SIZE
13 JkOptions +ForwardKeySize +ForwardURICompat -ForwardDirectories
14 # JkRequestLogFormat
15 JkRequestLogFormat "%w %V %T"
16 JkMount /*.jsp node1

workers.properties (I don't need load balancing; hence only one node)
-----------------------
1 worker.list=node1
2 worker.node1.type=ajp13
3 worker.node1.host=localhost
4 worker.node1.port=8009
5 worker.node1.lbfactor=1
6 #worker.node1.local_worker=1 (1)
7 worker.node1.cachesize=10

The mod-jk.conf is getting included in the http.conf file.

Thanks for your immediate response.
