As a result of horrible, horrible errors, we've changed how we connect Apache to Tomcat. We were using mod_jk
:
JkMount /path ajp13
Now we're using mod_proxy_ajp
:
ProxyPass /path ajp://localhost:8009/path
ProxyPassReverse /path ajp://localhost:8009/path
However, there's a feature that JkMount
offered but ProxyPass
doesn't: the ability to select on file types. This made it possible to proxy html files, but not images - in other words, to let the nice fast Apache serve the static stuff, and resorting to the slow Tomcat only for the dynamic stuff.
JkMount /*.html ajp13
Is there any way of achieving this with ProxyPass
? Possibly using a surrounding <Location>
directive or something like that?
Use ProxyPassMatch:
ProxyPassMatch ^/(path/.*\.html)$ ajp://localhost:8009/$1
