Spring and mod_jk jsp source in the response

Question

I have spring contoller, also apache + mod_jk + tomcat. So after making an requesto to my controller in the response I am getting jsp source code

mod_jk config:

<VirtualHost <some ip>:8000>
        ServerName <host>
        ServerAlias <alias> 
        DocumentRoot <path>
        JkMountCopy On
</VirtualHost>
JkWorkersFile <path>/workers.properties
JkMount /app* worker1

workers.properties

worker.list=worker1
worker.worker1.port=18001
worker.worker1.secret=some_secret
worker.worker1.host=localhost

How I understand apache sucessefully receives request => mod_jk redirects it to spring controller. Question is what happens next? Does spring converts response body to the jsp page, and forward it to apache? How can i fix this issue?

Try to open this page directly from tomcat, without mod_jk proxy. Does it work? I doubt. — Leos Literak, May 13 '14 at 20:03
@LeosLiterak verified on localhost both jsp and controller are working propertly — Sergey, May 13 '14 at 21:05
Hmm, modjk is just a proxy, it shall not affect processing. Strange — Leos Literak, May 13 '14 at 21:23
The file is served through Apache Web Server not Tomcat. Your mod_jk config isnt correct. Please post it. — Stefan, May 14 '14 at 14:49

Here is a working configuration, maybe you can find anyting thats missing in yours:

httpd.conf (Mod_jk module must be activated in httpd.conf):

LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so

#### JK CONFIG

JkWorkersFile   D:\Server\jk\workers.properties
JkLogFile       D:\Server\jk\mod_jk.log
JkShmFile       D:\Server\jk\jk-runtime-status
JkLogLevel      warning

JkMount /modjkstatus    stats

workers.properties:

worker.list=stats,node1

worker.node1.type=ajp13
worker.node1.host=localhost
worker.node1.port=8009

#status information (optional)
worker.stats.type=status

Virtual Host Config

JkMount /myapp                node1
JkMount /myapp/*              node1

Restart Apache and check error.log and mod_jk.log
Check that the ajp port, from workers.properties, matches the apj connector port in server.xml.
Start Tomcat.
Access /modjkstatus. If modjk is working you should see an info page.
Access /myapp.

there are no results, i've debuged mod_jk and see that in logs tomcat returns the jsp source. The question is what is wrong with tomcat on the server (locally it working), cause i have tomcat configured by our it department not me. And is it possible, in generall, to dissalow jsp execution on apache + tomcat? – Sergey Jun 04 '14 at 18:48

Yes if the JSP servlet is disabled or badly mapped. See [tomcat-folder]/conf/web.xml, should be line 225 and 360, or search for 'org.apache.jasper'. – Stefan Jun 05 '14 at 06:36
You was right thank you! The reason was that jsp compiler was disabled see org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet, in the tomcat\conf\web.xml. It-team says that it is recommend option for production) – Sergey Jun 06 '14 at 12:35
