Option 3: Use Apache2's mod_rewrite and mod_proxy to act as a proxy between the 2. Generally I set up tomcat to listen on localhost only, then using mod_rewrite I pass the headers on to tomcat from apache, seems to work quite nicely (and tomcat appears to start a heck of a lot faster without the jk connector). Very Quick and Dirty Method: <VirtualHost blah> RewriteEngine on ProxyPreserveHost on RewriteRile ^/(.*\.jsp) http://localhost:8180/$1 [P] [L] ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8180/ </VirtualHost> Hope that helps, Cheers -- Brett Parker -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
