Thanks for the comments, I ended up writing a little servlet filter. I forgot to mention that I had a filter mapping /* on the root context, so that /someuri was being caught by the root context first, so I needed a filter to bypass this. We're also not proxying through apache.

Hi

I was formerly hosting a web application at

http://somehost/somecontext

which I am now hosting at

http://somehost

so that the context is now ROOT, instead of somecontext.

Is there a way of mapping / redirecting 'old' URI from somecontext to the ROOT, so that

http://somehost/somecontext/someuri
becomes
http://somehost/someuri

This would be advantageous to me because bookmarked / search-engine listings for /someuri are now giving a 404, which I'd prefer to be a redirect. There is also the matter of links on other websites.

Thanks in advance
Dan Garland
