Migrating TO LiveSite

Denise Bowker

We are currently planning a migration from our current process for presenting web pages (Apache -> J2EE environment) to LiveSite (Apache -> LiveSite).

However we want to convert specific pages from old to new a little at a time. We have some business reasons to get a handful of pages up in LS as soon as possible and others will wait.

One gotcha - I can make changes to the Apache config once per month and it's a complicated process.

Here's my issue. Lets say the page /aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd is being converted, but /aaa/bbb/ccc/eee is NOT. I don't want to list all the converted (or vice versa) pages in the Apache config due to the complications of changing the config file.

What I would really like is to have LiveSite slurp the page from J2EE world when it doesn't have a local definition.

One thing I can do is tell Apache if /J2EE/.* comes through, pull the /J2EE off and send it the J2EE world. But I don't want to send a 302 redirect to the browser.

Any ideas?
