Which is the right implementation for a web-app, an admin and the default Tomcat pag

Hi all, since I am pretty newbie on deploying web applications and manage server I ask you which is the right (and secure) implementation if I would like to have (using Tomcat behind Apache):

- my application on http://x.x.x.x/
- my admin application on http://x.x.x.x:x
- the default Tomcat page on i.e. http://x.x.x.x/tomcat

at the moment I just set in my /etc/apache2/sites-available/default the following:

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>

        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        

        DocumentRoot /usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/MyApp/

        <Directory />

                Options FollowSymLinks

                AllowOverride None

        </Directory>

        <Directory /usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/MyApp/>

                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

                AllowOverride None

                Order allow,deny

                allow from all

        </Directory>



        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

        <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">

                AllowOverride None

                Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

                Order allow,deny

                Allow from all

        </Directory>



        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log



        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,

        # alert, emerg.

        LogLevel warn



        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined



    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"

    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">

        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks

        AllowOverride None

        Order deny,allow

        Deny from all

        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128

    </Directory>



</VirtualHost>

So in this way i can have it on http://x.x.x.x/, but I dont know if I am doing it right or less..

But my admin app is at http://x.x.x.x:8180/admin and tomcat at http://x.x.x.x:8180

Why if I set

Quote:

DocumentRoot /usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/MyApp/

Servlets dont work, while if I mount it with

Quote:

JkMount /app ajp13_worker
JkMount /app/* ajp13_worker

Everything works fine? (but it's on http://x.x.x.x/app and NOT on http://x.x.x.x/ )

I learnt something new...

basically Apache can only serve the app like a static page, this is why servlets dont work..

However right now I am trying to play with the "Context".. but it seems that also if I modify the app.xml to another path, it doesnt work (that is the app is still accessible on the old address e.g.: still x.x.x.x:8180/myapp instead x.x.x.x:8180/myapp1)

I looked for the conf files for the contexts in

In the $CATALINA_BASE/conf/context.xml file: the Context element information will be loaded by all webapps.
In the $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/context.xml.default file: the Context element information will be loaded by all webapps of that host.
In individual files (with a ".xml" extension) in the $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ directory. The name of the file (less the .xml extension) will be used as the context path. Multi-level context paths may be defined using #, e.g. foo#bar.xml for a context path of /foo/bar. The default web application may be defined by using a file called ROOT.xml.

Unluckly without success...

where else may I find them?
