Note on Assigning URLs to Tomcat

I came across assigning urls to Tomcat from : http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-3.3-doc/mod_jk-howto.html

In an instance when you will have to redirect a particular request based on context from apache to the respective application server say Tomcat,[ where Mod_JK] is used. we will have to add the details as below.

Assigning URLs to Tomcat

If you have created a custom or local version of mod_jk.conf as noted above, you can change settings such as the workers or URL prefix.Use mod_jk’s JkMount directive to assign specific URLs to Tomcat. In general the structure of a JkMount directive is:

JkMount <URL prefix> <Worker name>

For example the following directives will send all requests ending in .jsp or beginning with /servlet to the “ajp13” worker, but jsp requests to files located in /otherworker will go to “remoteworker“.

JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
JkMount /servlet/* ajp13
JkMount /otherworker/*.jsp remoteworker

You can use the JkMount directive at the top level or inside <VirtualHost> sections of your httpd.conf file.
