I'm posting this here first because of the generally friendly bunch of
folks who hang out here :-)

I've built the mod_jserv.c that comes with the Tomcat source into
Apache. This works. I've also got Tomcat working.

Now, in httpd.conf I can do:

ApJServMount /mntpoint /zonename

and in Tomcat's server.xml, have an entry that reads:

	<Context
		path="/mntpoint"
		docBase="/home/jan/servlet"
		debug="0"
		reloadable="true" />

And, sure enough, apache will direct accesses to
	http://localhost/mntpoint/servlet1
to the appropriate servlet as defined in
	/home/jan/servlet/WEB-INF/web.xml
Note, however, this doesn't appear to work if I use
	path="/zonename"

But I'm certain that that is not what should be happening: because the
/zonename entry in the ApJServMount line appears to be completely
ignored. In other words, if I want to move the web application instance
from http://localhost/mntpoint to http://localhost/other then I need to
change _both_ the httpd.conf entry for Apache (as I'd expected) _and_
the server.xml file (which I don't think I ought to have to do). Is the
zonename information used at all? Have I got the wrong end of the stick
or is this a tomcat/jserv bug that I should dive into the source to fix?

Thanks in advance -

jan

PS. This is with patchset 8 currently; however, patchset 9 seems to be
pretty good on the machine I tested it on.
