Tomcat 5.5 with Apache 2.0 Integration in 5 Simple Steps
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkWednesday, May 4, 2005
3. Add to Server.xml (in conf directory of Tomcat base directory)
<Connector port=”8081″ proxyPort=”80″ proxyName=”www.example.com” />
Note: Change the proxyName to the server name served by Apache. For example if you want to access the application at http://www.example.com/test/, then proxyName should be www.example.com.
4. Restart Tomcat Server and then Apache Server
5. Test the URL.
6. Have a cup of Java and relax.
BTW: That’s not actually a required step, but what the heck.
You are done!
Note: This is the simplest way to integrate the two servers. However in this configuration the static pages are also served by Tomcat. This is not so bad with the recent performance improvements in Tomcat 5.5. If you still want Apache to serve your static pages then welcome to jk connector hell.

The addition to Server.xml in step 3 does not display in Firefox or Safari (because it looks like an HTML tag). It is present in the source of the web page. Maybe it will display in my comment… : |
