I have a number of other applications (CGI/Perl, PHP, etc.) running on my apache web servers and use ModJk to loadbalance/forward certain URLs to my JBoss app servers. I have URL's like the following http://my.host.com/cgi_program | http://my.host.com/php_program | http://my.host.com/portal/myportal (this is what I want anyway) I have ModJk configurations like this JkMount /portal | JkMount /portal/* This is to forward/loadbalance the portal request from apache servers to my jboss servers for scalability and failover. If I change the context root to "/" instead of "/portal" then that works fine for page URLs, but action urls such as the ones in the UserPortlet don't work. Apache isn't forwarding those request to the jboss server because the "/portal" context root is gone. Look at the URL for the "Standard Login" link in UserPortlet. If the context root is "/portal" (the default) this link looks like this. http://localhost/portal/auth/index.html....... If you change the context root to "/" then that link looks like this. http://localhost/auth/index.html....... Notice that the "/portal" appears nowhere. If I put port 8080 in my url explicitly and don't forward through apache it works, but I can't do that in production. The problem is that I have to have a context root to base my ModJk redirects on. I can't use a ModJK config that looks like this because that would redirect all URLs to the app servers and my other applications won't work. JkMount / | JkMount /* My first thought was, "fine I'll just put /auth in the ModJk config" but that's not going to work either because /auth isn't the only URL. Look at the "create one" link in the UserPortlet. With context root /portal this is the URL http://localhost/portal/index.html...... | With context root / this is the URL http://localhost/index.html...... If I don't have a context root then I can't do anything with this URL. It just doesn't work without a context root if I'm forwarding from apache.
