Re: [Php-java-bridge-users] how can i call a Servlet in a other tomcat context

Hi Jörg,

first of all thank you very much for your feedback.

I assumed that you wanted to connect your framework (typo3) with another,
java-based framework running in a different web context, but within the same
tomcat container.

1) So you have typo3 running in the Apache front-end connected to an associated back-end 
running in tomcat. 

2) A second, unspecified application is running in tomcat, associated with the Apache 
front-end via mod_jk.


The second application should parse the request parameters and call the first application which
should generate the response.

Isn't it possible to direct all requests to the second app and then use
requestDispatcher.forward(...) to let typo 3 generate the response?

The call graph would be:

 apache --mod_jk-> tomcat app#2 --forward-> php/java bridge -> response
