| Hello all, 
 I am doing my project in jsp. I need to use mod_rewrite concept in my project in order to view public user profile as in facebook.
 
 i.e. I wrote the code to retrieve the user's public info from the database by passing userid as an argument as follows.
 
 http://localhost/myproject/user/publicprofile.jsp?userid=username
 
 But I have to rewrite the above to
 
 http://localhost/myproject/username for simplicity.
 
 I found that it can be done by using mod_rewrite.
 But mod_rewrite works only in apache server not in tomcat server.
 So I integrate Apache2.2 with Tomcat 6.0.29 using the tomcat connector.
 
 I configured httpd.conf as follows:
 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | 
 
 ServerRoot "C:/xampp/apache"
 
 
 LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
 LoadModule autoindex_color_module modules/mod_autoindex_color.so
 
 
 ServerName localhost:80
 
 
 DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
 
 
 <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
 AllowOverride All
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
 
 </Directory>
 
 
 <IfModule dir_module>
 DirectoryIndex index.php index.pl index.cgi index.asp index.shtml index.html index.htm \
 default.php default.pl default.cgi default.asp default.shtml default.html default.htm \
 home.php home.pl home.cgi home.asp home.shtml home.html home.htm
 </IfModule>
 
 
 <Directory "C:/Apache/apache-tomcat-6.0.29/webapps/user">
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
 </Directory>
 
 LoadModule jk_module "C:/xampp/apache/modules/mod_jk.so"
 JkWorkersFile "C:/Apache/apache-tomcat-6.0.29/conf/workers.properties"
 JkLogFile "C:/Apache/apache-tomcat-6.0.29/conf/from_apache_mod_jk.log"
 JkLogLevel info
 JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y]"
 
 # Send servlet for context /examples to worker named ajp13
 JkMount /examples ajp13
 # Send JSPs for context /examples/* to worker named ajp13
 JkMount /examples/* ajp13
 
 # Send servlet for context /user to worker named ajp13
 JkMount /user ajp13
 # Send JSPs for context /user/* to worker named ajp13
 JkMount /user/* ajp13

 For testing the mod_rewrite, I code three files as follows:
 
 test.jsp
 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | <html> <body>
 <form action = "form.jsp" method="get">
 Name : <input type="text" name="name"/><br/>
 <input type="submit" value="ok"/>
 </form>
 </body>
 </html>
 
 | 
 
 form.jsp
 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | <html> <body>
 <%
 
 String name = request.getParameter("name");
 out.println(name);
 
 %>
 </body>
 </html>
 | 
 
 .htaccess file
 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /user/form.jsp?name=$1 [L]
 
 | 
 
 I saved the three above mentioned files in C:\Apache\apache-tomcat-6.0.29\webapps\user
 
 when I execute the code in browser as
 
 http://localhost/user/form.jsp?name=yuvi
 
 it outputs the given name, but , when I use
 http://localhost/user/yuvi.html
 
 it didn't work (i.e., the .htaccess file is not accessed I think so).
 
 When I tried the above mentioned sample in php by saving the three php files in C:\xampp\htdocs\test, I got the desired output and .htaccess works.
 
 But I don't know why it does not work in jsp!!
 
 Hope that you will understand my problem. Help me please.
 
 Thanks and Regards,
 
 yuvi
 
 Modnote: removed unneeded stuff from httpd.conf code. We know standard settings. Update: Changed title

| you need to set the pass through flag "PT" for the rewrite rules.
 
 See also "pass through" in
 
 http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html
 
 Also: if you are using VirtualHosts, you need to put the JkMount into
 the VirtualHosts.
 
 Let us know, if that works.
