We had this configuration running in production for a number of years with no problem (the webapp could be reached under / and under /webapp). Technically, these are two different applications running from the same files, so session IDs cannot be exchanged between them. What were the problems you encountered?

RE: Tomcat: two context path for one webapp
Hello Chuck, thanks for you reply. The UrlRewriteFilter is almost solved my problem. But there is an unexcepted effect: when I opened the page with the http://localhost:4041/YYY the URL changed to http://localhost:8080/XXX. Is it possible to hide this redirect anyway?

Configure the rewrite filter to do a forward, not a redirect, and use relative, not absolute, links in your webapp. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Re: Tomcat: two context path for one webapp
By any chance, do you have an Apache httpd server in front of this tomcat instance? The first solution that comes to my mind is using mod_rewrite with some rewrite rules on the httpd server so that the web browser client sees http://localhost:8080/YYY but it is really http://localhost:8080/XXX DJ On Wed, 2009-11-11 at 08:57 -0800, AlbundySzabolcs wrote: Hi, I have been trying to solve a problem, but I have not found any good solution yet.
