Httpproxyservlet wls 6.0

Question

          (please forgive the cross posting -- didn't see this list the first time)
          We're trying to set up a weblogic 6 box to be able to have multiple managed servers
          on one machine, fed by a proxy server. The goal is to have the site requests come
          in through port 80 (in production), but still go to the individual managed servers,
          looking at different ports -- no money for clustering :(
          we decided to stick with wls as our web server as most of the site is dynamic
          anyway.
          I have the following mapping code in my web.xml file of the proxy server
          <!-- DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 1.2//EN"
          "file:///weblogic/dev/myserver/servlet2.2/WEB-INF/web-jar.dtd"--> <web-app>
          <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>StudentEmploymentProxy</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/sep/*</url-pattern>
          </servlet-mapping>
          <servlet> <servlet-name>StudentEmploymentProxy</servlet-name> <servlet-class>weblogic.t3.srvr.HttpProxyServlet</servlet-class>
          <init-param> <param-name>redirectURL</param-name> <param-value>studentemployment:9001</param-value>
          </init-param>
          </servlet>
          that's all that's in the default app of the proxy server. the individual apps
          have only the basic web.xml file and a small .jsp test page that is just html.
          so here's the summary:
          server 1: proxyserver (dns proxy), listening on port 8001, with a default application
          called proxy that has the above mappings
          server 2: studentemploymentserver (dns studentemployment), listening on port 9001,
          with a default application called studentemployment
          url call: http://proxy:8001/sep/studentemployment.jsp
          getting a 404 error, not sure what the h is going on.
          any guidance much appreciated.

babu,
If you use the start-menu, there's nothing much you have to do to get things running with 5.1 and Win98.
If you are using their batch files, the only major thing that is required is to change the .cmd script(s) to .bat script(s) and to look inside the startWebLogic.bat script
and de-NT it. Its a fairly simple process. I seem to remember the IF clauses that attempt to smartly construct the weblogic.class.path needed some adjusting.
