+<br>
+<p>
+The forwarding of requests from the web server to tomcat gets configured by defining mapping rules.
+Such a rule maps requests to workers. The request part of the map is described by a URI pattern,
+the worker by it's worker name.
+</p>
+<p>
+The so-called <b>uriworkermap</b> file is a mechanism of defining rules,
+which works for all web servers. There exist also other web server specific configuration
+options for defining rules, which will be mostly discussed on the reference pages for
+configuring tomcat connectors for the individual web servers.
+</p>
+<p>
+The name of the file is usually uriworkermap.properties,
+although this is configurable in the web server.
+Please consult the web server specific documentation pages on
+how to enable the uriworkermap file.
+</p>
+<p>
+The main features supported by the uriworkermap file are
+<ul>
+<li>
+Support for comments in the rule file.
+</li>
+<li>
+Exact and wildchar matches, shortcuts to map a directory and all including content.
+</li>
+<li>
+Exclusion rules, disabling of rules and rule priorities.
+</li>
+<li>
+Rule extensions, modifying worker behaviour per rule.
+</li>
+<li>
+Virtual host integration: uri mapping rules can be expressed per virtual host.
+The details are web server specific though.
+</li>
+<li>
+Dynamic reloading: The file gets checked periodically for changes.
+New versions are automatically reloaded without web server restarts.
+</li>
+<li>
+Integration with the status worker.
+</li>
+</ul>
+The following sections describe these aspects in more detail.

+<div class="example"><pre>
+ /myapp=myworker
+</pre></div>
+The URI pattern is case sensitive.

+<br>
+<p>
+All text after and including the character '#' gets ignored and can be used for comments.
+Leading and trailing white space gets trimmed around the URI pattern and also around the worker name.
+The following definitions are all equivalent:
+<div class="example"><pre>
+ # This is a white space example
+ /myapp=myworker
+ /myapp=myworker
+ /myapp = myworker

+<br>
+<p>
+Inside the URI pattern three special characters can be used, '*', '?' and '|'.
+The character '*' is a wildchar that matches any number of arbitrary characters
+in the URI, '?' matches exactly one character.
+Each URI pattern has to start with the character '/', or with '*' or with '?',
+optionally prefixed by any combination of the modifiers '!' and '-' (see next section).
+<div class="example"><pre>
+ # Mapping the URI /myapp1 and everything under /myapp1/:
+ /myapp1=myworker-a
+ /myapp1/*=myworker-a
+ # Mapping all URI which end with a common suffix:
+ *.jsp=myworker
+ *.do=myworker
+</pre></div>
+Since the first case of mapping a certain location and everything inside
+it is very common, the character '|' gives a handy shortcut:
+<div class="example"><pre>
+ # Mapping the URI /myapp1 and everything under /myapp1/:
+ /myapp1|/*=myworker-a
+</pre></div>
+The pattern 'X|Y' is exactly equivalent to the two maps 'X' and 'XY'.

+<br>
+<p>
+Exclusion rules allows to define exclusions from URI rules, which would forward
+requests to tomcat. If the exclusion rule matches, the request will not be forwarded.
+This is usually used to serve static content by the web server.
+A rule is an exclusion rule, if it is suffixed with '!':
+<div class="example"><pre>
+ # Mapping the URI /myapp and everything under /myapp/:
+ /myapp|/*=myworker
+ # Exclude the subdirectory static:
+ !/myapp/static|/*=myworker
+ # Exclude some suffixes:
+ !*.html=myworker
+</pre></div>
+An exclusion rule overrides a normal mapping rule only, if the worker names in the
+normal rule and in the exclusion rule are the same. Starting with version 1.2.26 of JK
+you can apply an exclusion rule to any worker, by using the star character '*' as
+the worker name in the exclusion rule.
+More complex patterns in exclusion worker names are not allowed.
+<div class="example"><pre>
+ # Mapping the webapps /myapp1 and /myapp2:
+ /myapp1|/*=myworker1
+ /myapp2|/*=myworker2
+ # Exclude the all subdirectories static for all workers:
+ !/*/static|/*=*
+ # Exclude some suffixes for all workers:
+ !*.html=*
+</pre></div>
+</p>
+<p>
+Rule disabling comes into play, if your web server merges rules from various sources,
+and you want to disable any rule defined previously. Since the uriworkermap file gets
+reloaded dynamically, you can use this to temporarily disable request forwarding:
+A rule gets disabled, if it is suffixed with '-':
+<div class="example"><pre>
+ # We are not in maintenance.
+ # The maintenance rule got defined somewhere else.
+ -/*=maintenance
+</pre></div>
+Exclusion rules can get disabled as well, then the rule starts with '-!'.

+</p>
+<p>
+If both distinctions still do not suffice, then the defining source of the rule is considered.
