It seems that your idea of forwarding everything over would be easier to maintain and create than you think.

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
