Mapping / -> jboss:/application in Apache ...

[Marc Fournier]

What is the currently recommended way to do this? I'm trying proxy_ajp in Apache 2.2, since it seems the simplist to setup, and reduces the # of modules I need to support ... but if I do something like: 

ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/subfolder 
ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/subfolder 

When I go to: 

http://localhost 

the url gets rewritten as 'http://localhost/subfolder 

and I get an error: 

HTTP Status 404 - /subfoldersubfolder/ 

from jboss ... 

I want the whole /subfolder to be hidden behind the scenes, since this is the only thing being served from that server, and adding /subfolder/ just makes the URL longer then it needs to be ... 

Is this a problem with using Apache2.2/proxy_ajp itself, or how I'm setting up the proxy stuff ... ? If its with Apache2.2, would using mod_jk fix it? 

Or, should I just change the context-path in jboss to re-point :8080/ and do / on Apache -> :8080/ on jboss ... ? 

Thoughts / advice? 

thanks ...
