Problems with serving compressed resources with tomcat.

Marcin Muras added a comment - 15/Sep/09 8:13 AM I found what exactly makes problem. If you have configuration like that <Host name="test.com" appBase="webapps" .. where appBase is exactly webapps everything works fine. But when you change appBase to something else e.g. appBase="webapps/someApp" (it must be different from webapps) cacheFilter is not called when css and js is served by tomcat. It is realy strange and I it looks like bug in tomcat (or maybe my knowledge about tomcat is not sufficient ..). My workaround for this bug was to change configuration for something like this: <Host name="app1.com" appBase="webapps".. > <Context path="" docBase="Absolute path to app1. App1 must be outside webapps dir !"/> </Host> <Host name="app2.com" appBase="webapps".. > <Context path="" docBase="Absolute path to app2. App2 must be outside webapps dir !"/> </Host> In such configuration everything works fine. Filter is called as it should.
