apache+tomcat access control with the deny and allow not working?

Hi,

I have an apache-tomcat using mod_dk to communicate. I would like to restrict ip addresses by using the deny in the httpd.conf file. I made changes to the httpd.conf and restarted both tomcat and apache but the ip addresses I denied are still able to view my directory that I restricted. It work on a standalone apache server but not with the apache-tomcat combo. Does anyone know how to restrict access to directories with an apache-tomcat server?

Thanks in advance,

Edward

First off I am not familiar with mod_jk. Normally if you are trying to protect a dir under your docroot like so:

/www/htdocs/private, you just need:

<Directory "/www/htdocs/private">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Deny from 12.34.56.78/32
</Directory>

In mod_jk, however, if it's a virtual path, then it Allow/Deny doesn't work within <Directory>. Say it is:

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /www/htdocs
ServerName www.domain.com
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
JkMount /servlet/* ajp13
</VirtualHost>

You can put Deny directive within <Location /servlet> or even <FilesMatch "\.jsp$">
