I finally got a chance to build mod_webapp from j-t-c with Apache 2.0. Looks good and is quite easy to do. Only problem is that we aren't handling directories properly. If you do the examples webapp, you see a link to:
http://localhost:8080/examples/servlets/ Going there results in a bad response (actually nothing returned!), but http://localhost:8080/examples/servlets/index.html works. I'm not terribly sure if httpd or Tomcat should be handling this case (i.e. redirecting or handling DirectoryIndex-type semantics). Somebody isn't handling it and that's not good. You will find attached a patch that cleans up some of the build process in j-t-c so that it works with Apache 2.0 cleanly and fixes some tpyos and formatting quirks. The only questionable thing is that lib/libwebapp.a isn't built by libtool. The simple straightforward ar and ranlib should work fine, but it may not work on all systems. When linking mod_webapp.lo with libwebapp.a, libtool emits a warning. It may be worth it to try and use APR's libtool to compile and link all of the files in lib (this would produce lib/libwebapp.la). Enjoy. Oh, and Pier, thanks for dinner. =-) This is my payback... -- justin Index: webapp/Makefile.in =================================================================== RCS file: /home/cvspublic/jakarta-tomcat-connectors/webapp/Makefile.in,v retrieving revision 1.20 diff -u -r1.20 Makefile.in --- webapp/Makefile.in 2001/09/17 05:06:27 1.20 +++ webapp/Makefile.in 2001/10/01 06:39:24 @@ -107,6 +107,12 @@ apache-1.3-clean: @$(MAKE) template MFLG="$(MAKEFLAGS)" MDIR="apache-1.3" MTGT="clean" +apache-2.0-build: + @$(MAKE) template MFLG="$(MAKEFLAGS)" MDIR="apache-2.0" MTGT="build" + +apache-2.0-clean: + @$(MAKE) template MFLG="$(MAKEFLAGS)" MDIR="apache-2.0" MTGT="clean" + template: @ { \ $(ECHO) "" ; \ Index: webapp/configure.in =================================================================== RCS file: /home/cvspublic/jakarta-tomcat-connectors/webapp/configure.in,v retrieving revision 1.39 diff -u -r1.39 configure.in --- webapp/configure.in 2001/09/17 05:07:01 1.39 +++ webapp/configure.in 2001/10/01 06:39:24 @@ -177,7 +177,7 @@ dnl Upd vars: N/A dnl ------------------------------------------------------------------------- AC_ARG_WITH(tomcat, - [ --with-tomcat[=DIR] path of a Tomcat 4.0 distribution.
