Changing the URL mapping

Antonio,
the places I made my changes to do something similar were:

1) properties/blog-admin-url
2) properties/blog-base-admin-url
3) properties/blog-url
4) properties/blog-base-url
5) blojsom/WEB-INF/web.xml (servelet-mapping/url-pattern)

The directory labeled "blogs" in my installation
has a group of
directories relating to the various blogs on my system. I
had zero luck
in eliminating a URL level (that is, going from
URL/Blojsom/blog/dan to
URL/Blojsom/dan) if that is what you are trying to
accomplish.

Good luck!
Dan

The only way I have managed to achieve this is to have
Boljsom as the
ROOT webapp in the host (all this being Tomcat hosted).  The
only
"gotcha" is that ROOT webapp config _must_ to be
in server.xml, and
NOT in the [engine]/[host]/blojsom.xml file (IIRC its a
known bug).

Actually, that is exactly what I am trying to accomplish.
Both according 
to David and the catalina.log, the reason it fails seems to
be because 
the Blojsom servlet is receiving the requests for
/resources/* and 
treating them as "unknown blog ids".

I think I have figured it out what to fix, so I will share
the patch 
when I get it done.

Of course, the easier recourse would have been to use Apache
mod_rewrite
in front of Tomcat, but what the heck, I will give it a
shot.

Mike,

Do you mean to include the blojsom.xml in /WEB-INF/classes
into 
/etc/tomcat4.server.xml (I am on Debian and running Blojsom
3)?

I mean that, for the ROOT context _only_, you have to put
the
<Context>...</Context> entry into server.xml
instead of in a separate
file in
<tomcat-config-home>/[engine]/[host]/blojsom.xml.

OTOH it looks to me like you're using Tomcat 4 and not
Tomcat 5, so
this probably doesn't apply (sorry; my bad assumption). 
IIRC all
contexts have to get configured in server.xml in Tomcat4,
whereas that
whole scheme has changed for Tomcat5.

BTW: Tomcat5 = vast improvement.  Migrate if you possibly
can!

If you think you can pull it off with just URL rewriting,
then no need
to put Apache in front just to get mod_rewrite, just install
URLRewriteFilter (http://tuckey.org/urlre
write/) under Tomcat.  I
tried hard using this route, though, and could not make it
work, and
just changing the name from "blojsom" to
"" was a simpler option
available to me then.  If you /do/ manage to make URLRewrite
do the
job, please post the solution to the list, since this
question comes
up again and again over time, so would be very useful to
have a
solution in the list archives.
