I have a number of tomcat apps, all of which route through a single apache instance (2.2). I also use rewrite rules at the top level in httpd.conf to do some simple rewriting (http://foo->http://tomcat-server/bar, foo being one of a number of DNS aliases to the apache box). Once in a while I need to point the rewrite rule to a different tomcat app, and I'd love to be able to do that without touching httpd.conf (or restarting apache) .. but my research indicates that there's no way to get apache to look at an htaccess file when serving a tomcat app. Anyone got a trick for something like this? jd ###################################################################### The information contained in this communication is confidential and may contain information that is privileged or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
