The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

need to redirect from html to servlet or jsp

Asked by paries in J2EE, Apache Web Server, WebApplications

I am going to try to explain this problem.
I have this site that uses apache 2 and tomcat and uses a connector between the two. Apache serves up my static pages and my images.

my site has a bunch of users with their own sites and doc roots.
for example.
http://www.mydomain.com/kam
http://www.mydomain.com/sue
http://www.mydomain.com/fred

i have lots of users.
in order to distribute the directories alittle and not have 1000's of users all under one directory i do mod-rewrite with apache.
for example

http://www.mydomain.com/kam
the doc root is /home/docroot/k/kam
http://www.mydomain.com/fred
the doc root is /home/docroot/f/fred

So hopefully you see the pattern.

one more note, apache understands the mod-rewrite, but tomcat obviously does not.

so here is my problem

in the frames world i do the following (this would be the index.html in /home/docroot/k/kam/index.html
and they would get to it by http://www.mydomain.com/kam

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Expires CONTENT="Tue, 04 Dec 1993 21:29:02 GMT">
<TITLE>kam 's Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 FRAMEBORDER=NO BORDER=0  ROWS="100%,0">
<FRAME NORESIZE SCROLLING="auto" NAME="title" MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 NORESIZE SRC="/servlet/publicServlet?method=showMembersPage&id=965&lang=0" TARGET=_top>
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>

So i want to get rid of the frames.

so what i have working now is in my index.html
<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Expires CONTENT="Tue, 04 Dec 1993 21:29:02 GMT">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=/servlet/publicServlet?method=showMembersPage&id=965&lang=0">
</head>
</html>

i was going to have an index.jsp but that would mess up everyones URLS because instead of
http://www.mydomain.com/kam(implied /index.jsp)
they would have to do because tomcat does not recognize the mod_rewrite.
http://www.mydomain.com/k/kam

So what i am asking is for a more elegant solution, if there is one.

I hope this makes sense
