Question on using Tomcat5 with Community Edition

[BernieW]

I needed to restore my system after trying to install the Windows XP service pack 3.

I reinstalled the Web.Developer Server Suite Community Edition 2.0 and all went well.

I then installed Apache Tomcat5 and this also runs well.

However, Tomcat requests are not going through localhost instead this is how I am accessing the example JSP and Servlets examples:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/manager/html

In the Professional Edition forum there is a post on this topic ( http://forums.devside.net/index.php?topic=1710.0 ) in the post it indicates that Tomcat accesses Apache via localhost through a Proxy URL  using the configuration file  C:\www\Apache22\conf\extra\vhosts\localhost\suite-mod_proxy_ajp.conf.

Will just creating this configuration file and adding the following lines work, or is there more to it than just adding the config file?

Code:

ProxyPass /examples/ ajp://localhost:8009/examples/
ProxyPassReverse /examples/ ajp://localhost:8009/examples/

I don't recall if Community Edition loads that specific folder/path location automatically, but if you place those lines in the config and load mod_proxy_ajp you might be able to proxy those urls... If Tomcat's server.xml file is also configured to listen on the ajp port.
