[00:53]<l2uz>so I'm trying to figure out how to get requests for / in apache to map to a particular context on tomcat
[00:54]<l2uz>say, /foo
[00:54]<l2uz>It appears I need to use a ProxyPass directive
[00:54]<l2uz>but is there another way with mod_jk?
[02:45]<sz__>hi
[02:46]<sz__>small question: I want some servlets and jsp to be able to access classes which are defined in some far directories
[02:46]<sz__>is there a way to set some sort of classpath to let tomcat know where to find those classes in my local computer's HD ?
[02:48]<sz__>when specifying the CLASSPATH var env before starting tomcat it does not work
[02:51]<drssygn>sr__, you want the classes to be available servlet container wide ?
[02:51]<sz__>yes
[02:52]<sz__>but I dont want to have to add them into the WEB-INF/classes folder
[02:52]<sz__>like there are somewhere else
[02:52]<sz__>they
[02:52]<sz__>on my computer
[02:52]<drssygn>are they packages into a jar ?
[02:52]<drssygn>are they packageD into a jar ?
[02:53]<sz__>nop
[02:53]<sz__>in a folder
[02:53]<drssygn>package them and copy you package.jar into $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib
[02:54]<sz__>no
[02:54]<sz__>that's what I dont wanna do
[02:54]<sz__>because Im developping those classes from somewhere else
[02:54]<drssygn>so you can put them in WEB-INF/lib
[02:55]<sz__>and I dont want to have to copy everything or jar stuff when I change a single thing in my classes
[02:55]<sz__>from eclipse I have a plugin where I checked "add this project to tomcat classpath" and it works really well
[02:55]<sz__>my problem is when trying to run tomcat not from this plugin
[02:55]<drssygn>so /WEB-INF/lib is the place where you can put them
[02:55]<sz__>but I dont
[02:56]<drssygn>you dont want that too ?
[02:56]<sz__>well I cant
[02:56]<drssygn>explain in more details please
[02:56]<sz__>cant I just specifiy tomcat to go see in another folder on my computer for classes ?
[02:56]<drssygn>yes you can
[02:56]<drssygn>in catalina.sh
[02:56]<sz__>this is bascially what Im looking for
[02:56]<sz__>ok
[02:56]<drssygn>there is a directive
[02:56]<sz__>let me see
[02:56]<drssygn>wait
[02:57]<drssygn>i dont remember the name but let me see
[02:57]<drssygn>sorry
[02:57]<drssygn>that was wrong
[02:58]<drssygn>go to $CATALINA_HOME/conf/catalina.properties#common.loader={add the path of your class folder here}
[02:59]<drssygn>found it ?
