Multiple applications: weblogic 6.0 sp1 and apache 1.3.12 proxy

Question

Hi,
We are testing the following setup:
Weblogic 6.0 SP1 running on Solaris 8 (SUN, ip: 192.168.0.1)
Apache 1.3.12 running on Linux (ip: 192.168.0.2)
We have two applications setup on weblogic in the following
directories:
$WL_HOME/config/mydomain/applications/app1 and
$WL_HOME/config/mydomain/applications/app2
The idea is to set up virtual hosts on the apache server and
depending on the url, redirect the client to a specific
application. So for the application app1 we have the following
setup in httpd.conf:
<Files ~ "*.jsp>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
PathPrepend /app1
</Files>
<IfModule mod_weblogic.c>
WebLogicHost 192.168.0.1
WebLogicPort 7001
DebugConfigInfo ON
Debug ALL
</IfModule>
This seems to work fine, e.g. if the client requests a page
http://app1.url.com/index.jsp this gets correctly passed to
weblogic as http://192.168.0.1:7001/app1/index.jsp.
BUT when a jsp page does a response.sendRedirect
(redirectpage.jsp), weblogic tells the client to redirect to
http://app1.url.com/app1/redirectpage.jsp. *Apache* immediately
comes back with an error 404. Is there a way of stripping
the /app1 path from the redirect page that gets sent
to the client?
OR is there a better way of hosting multiple applications on a
server?
This is only a problem when we use sendRedirect.
Any ideas
Thanks
Richard

Hello;
Can someone tell me how I might make this configuration work? I'm trying to
run multiple Weblogic Process on one box and 1 Apache Process on another
box. I would like to utilize the "VirtualHosting by name" via the HTTP1.1
protocol and use the weblogic plugin.

When I try to call the website:
http://1stVirtual.host.com/weblogic/ I get this:
Failure of WebLogic APACHE bridge:
Neither WebLogicCluster nor WebLogicHost parameter was specified in
httpd.conf. Cannot continue.
Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.
