determining order in which things are processed: webapp and rewrite

[carpeliam]

I'm using mod_webapp to coordinate with Tomcat (servlet engine) as well as mod_rewrite so that I can have the process redirected to Tomcat's webapp under the hood without the user seeing it. (I'm using the PT directive for rewrite.)

It seems as though the call to mod_webapp is getting called before mod_rewrite; If I deploy my webapp in the root directory, nothing is written in the rewrite log file; if I deploy my app in directory "/xyz", I get a message in error.log saying that the file "C:/apache/htdocs/xyz" could not be found.

All of this leads me to believe that webapp is getting called before rewrite, although I have my rewrite code right under the AddModule section (towards the top), while the webapp code is at the very bottom.

If ANYBODY could shed ANY light on this situation, I'd be GREATLY appreciative. Thank you ) Liam Morley

Apache assigns the priorities to the loaded modules bottom up - therefore the last module will have the highest priority.

You just have to Add and Load the mod_rewrite AFTER mod_webapp!
