Handling redirection with mod_jk

[jainromil]

Hello,

I have Apache connected with Tomcat using mod_jk (all latest versions)

Everything is working fine, except when my Tomcat application sends a redirection response.

My app is in installed in the "/app1" context in Tomcat.

In my httpd.conf file, I have the following configuration:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
ServerName app1.localhost
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/app1/
RewriteRule ^(.*) /app1$1 [PT,L]
JkMount /* localhost

</VirtualHost>


So essentlly I am forwarding all requests to
http://app1.localhost
to
/app1 context in the Tomcat.

For example:

http://app1.localhost/index.jsp
will be forwarded as
http://app1.localhost/app1/index.jsp
to Tomacat.

Now, my index.jsp redirects the request to welcome.jsp

This is where the problem occurs.

The URL sent back to the browser is

http://app1.localhost/app1/welcome.jsp

Whereas the browser should receive

http://app1.localhost/welcome.jsp


Of course, this problem can be solved using ProxyPass & ProxyPassRevers e.

However, I am interested to know if we can do something similar with mod_jk ?

I've tried using just ProxyPassRevers e with mod_jk, but it doesnt work .

Any help/suggestions would be very valuable.

Thanks,
Romil Jain
