I'm trying to use Virutal hosting or mod_jk to have tomcat run through apache for .jsp file requests. Plus, this all need to take place out of public_html folders in users home dir. any ideas? I've been trying the mod_jk approach, but it's been painstakingly hard.
use mod_rewrite I spent years fighting with mod_jk and hated it. I've setup the mod_jk connector at least 20 times and it is just as hard every single time. And so when I learned how to use mod_rewrite to do what I needed, I was very happy. And I also figured out that there are much better app servers than Tomcat and I can use mod_rewrite with any app server I like. Here is one article about mod_rewrite, but I know there are probably easier tutorials: http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/LoadBalancingWithModProxy
