Regards, Jean-Marc. Context -------Apache is not on the same box as Tomcat, mod_jk is using a unicast socket to communicate through ajp
Apache is serving a htdocs/ directory with static files only Tomcat is serving a webapp/ directory with .jsp files only Problem description -------------------The following rewrite rule was written to solve a problem when a directory wasn't existing on Apache but on Tomcat and the end client was requesting it via http://url/ without filename.jsp behind, Apache would return a 404 instead of trying to forward it to Tomcat, thing that would not happen if the directory was existing on the Apache side as
the DirectoryIndex set with default.jsp would trigger the forward.The problematic case is you've dir1/ on the Tomcat directory tree but not on Apache, if you call GET /dir1/, Apache will return 404
without the rewrite rule.Note that this rule depends on DocumentRoot, so if you're using it within a VirtualHost, check that the DocumentRoot is set
(NB: It doesn't work with the VirtualDocumentRoot directive)
Solution
--------
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /$1default.jsp [R]
