Hello all.
Is there such a thing as an alias context, where all requests for a
specific context get redirected to a second context?
The way that we are currently doing this is to set the docBase attribute
of the "alias" context to the docBase of the "concrete". For example:
<Context path="/concrete" docBase="/app/webroot" />
<Context path="/alias" docBase="/app/webroot" />
I don't like this approach as if we move the docBase of the concrete
context, we need to update the docBase of the alias context. I would
prefer to see something like this:
<Context path="/concrete" docBase="/app/webroot" />
<Context path="/concrete" alias="/concrete" />
I also know that this could be done using an actual web application with
a single servlet that redirects all requests to the other context.
However, that requires creation and maintenance. If this could be done
with a configuration setting that would be good.
I haven't been able to find anything about redirects or aliases in the
tomcat 5 documentation. Is there such a feature?
Thanks
JDG
