Re: redirects https only for one app
None of these alternatives is suitable for my situation. I wonder since tomcat knows the contextname for each app, if it is possible to have a context specific web.xml in the conf file in addition to the one for all web.xml, such as web_contextname.xml that can be applied to contextname only.

There is an undocumented (apart from the JavaDoc) attribute for the StandardContext [1] that you can use to specify an alternative deployment descriptor. Look for altDDName. It needs to be the full path to the alternative web.xml. I haven't tested this in a long time.

Re: redirects https only for one app
It is a site specific scenario that those options can not be used. Just feel having a app specific web.xml in conf dir would be reasoon, context.xml allow specifying context/app name.

It is an entirely unexplained site specific scenario that you can't modify a .war files configuration to get it to meet a site specific requirement? ;) Just feel having a app specific web.xml in conf dir would be reasoon, context.xml allow specifying context/app name. That's not the way the Servlet Spec works, have a read of it - it's actually mostly readable. You can always extract the web.xml from the .war and update it, before adding it back again. A .war is a special type of .jar - so you can use the JDK 'jar' command to operate on it. p On 10/30/2012 3:45 PM, Pid wrote: On 30/10/2012 13:29, Ted Smith wrote: None of these alternatives is suitable for my situation.
