How to forward all kind of request from ROOT to another subdirectory?
Hello, I need to forward all kind of request from the ROOT, i.e http://localhost:8080/ to http://localhost:8080/myRoot Is it possible, do I need to create a redirect servlet? However, I think tomcat can be configured to behave that way? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
RE: How to forward all kind of request from ROOT to another subdirectory?
Simplest would be to set up an index.html in the root path that redirects to whatever you wish. You can find 500 hits on google about how to do an HTML redirect. -Original Message- From: Xybrek [mailto:xyb...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2011 3:07 AM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: How to forward all kind of request from ROOT to another subdirectory?

I know about placing the web app (like myRoot) under the ROOT and it will work. However, there is another issue I that comes when I do this, an issue with my GWT (http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/) web app, where the the client-side code cannot access the services (servlets). My gwt application works just fine in the myRoot folder of the tomcat webapps folder. So my idea, is just forward every access to the ROOT to myRoot.

And I want that for all URLs which start with : http://myhost:8080/myapp they stay where they are (in /myapp) And I want that if they ask for http://myhost:8080/something-else they really get /something-else from within the webapps/ROOT/something-else directory.

That sounds like a problem either with GWT (unlikely) or with your webapp. Have you perchance been hard-coding your context paths? Maybe we can help you fix your webapp so that you can re-home it without these ugly hacks like semi-conditional redirection. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk7hBiUACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDilgCdHIy/DWrAirNLKDw6L2zZZL8/ C+EAnAvxN1Y7ePPn0EVLfOXe+vQjZGQi =letZ -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
