Apache HTTP + Apache Tomcat + mod_rewrite

Hi.

I haven't work with Apache HTTP for years, and faced with one task, which little bit confused me.

We have Apache HTTP on front and Apache Tomcat - on back end.

Next, we have some domain, let's say "http://domain.com".

Main application works under Tomcat via AJP in httpd:

Code:

        ProxyPass /cloudlibrary ajp://localhost:8009/cloudlibrary
        ProxyPassReverse /cloudlibrary ajp://localhost:8009/cloudlibrary

Here is my current configuration:

Code:

...
DocumentRoot /var/www/www.domain.com
...

<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName www.domain.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/www.domain.com

        RedirectMatch ^/$ /cloudlibrary/

        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /cloudlibrary/ui
        RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
        RewriteRule ^.*cloudlibrary(.*) %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/test/1/$1 [L]

        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /cloudlibrary/ui
        RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteRule ^.*cloudlibrary(.*) %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/test/1/index.html [L]

        # Cloud Library
        #ProxyPass /cloudlibrary ajp://localhost:8009/cloudlibrary
        #ProxyPassReverse /cloudlibrary ajp://localhost:8009/cloudlibrary


        <Location /cloudlibrary>
                Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
                Require all granted
        </Location>

What I'm trying to do:

if Apache get URL to http://domain.com/cloudlibrary/ui/somefile.js - it must:

1) check if file exist on file system in %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/test/1/somefile.js directory, if so - return it;
2) if file not found - return %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/test/1/index.html;

All other requests (not http://domain.com/cloudlibrary/ui/ - but all other "under" http://domain.com/cloudlibrary/) must be redirected to Tomcat.

Of course - my current setup doesn't work :-)

I disabled Tomcat Proxy for now, and if I'm trying to open URL http://domain.com/cloudlibrary/ui/somefile.js - I have 404, instead of file %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/test/1/somefile.js or %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/test/1/index.html.

Could anybody please help with this Apache HTTP configuration?

Thanks.

You may try the following:

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/cloudlibrary/ui/(.*)
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/test/1/%1 -f
RewriteRule ^/cloudlibrary/ui/(.*) /test/1/$1
RewriteRule  ^/cloudlibrary/ui/(.*) %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/test/1/index.html
