I was wondering, is there an easy way to allow all URLS past the base jsp drive to be accessed by tomcat? Here is an example: I have this address: hello.dyndns.org/peddler to get to the connected directory that tomcat can use (setup in j2.properties and workers.properties and server.xml). My problem is that I need to have this sort of thing work:
hello.dyndns.org/peddler/programming and other dirs past peddler/ to not have to be defined as contexts in tomcat or apache, is there an easy way to do this? Thanks.

First of all:
1."the base jsp drive"??
2."apache context"?? mean vhost maybe?
So what i understand is that u use an apache httpd front end and mapped tomcat as worker to /peddler perhaps via a vhost declaration with jk2 directives, just a guess, never really setup a tomcat connector with apache. What you may consider is "connecting" these servers in more loosely way e.g. use apache as reverse proxy server for Tomcat, that will run on it's 8080 or whatever port you assigned to it. A rev proxy makes the client see the address he typesd while the content comes from another URL, so u have some flexibility on how to alocate ports, machines, make some load balancing and let things flexible. Just an idea. For more info of what Apache 2 can do as reverse proxy check out mod_proxy module docs on apache website. Let me know if this helps or what exactly IS your problem: do you need the same session scope for all /peddler i.e. have a single webapp for that or just don't want to hardcode each new subdirectory to make apache "forward" it to the right spot?..too much already, hope gave u an idea, works great for my project
