If you don't want tomcat to serve your /index.jsp when 404 is encountered, just remove the <error-page> config from your web.xml.
Is this what you are asking? Not sure I got your question right.

First tomcat instance log: 199.99.99.99 - - [09/Apr/2004:14:27:21 +0100] "GET /appli/notExistingPage HTTP/1.1" 404 - 6008 Second tomcat instance log: 199.99.99.99 - - [09/Apr/2004:14:27:21 +0100] "GET /appli/notExistingPage HTTP/1.1" 302 - 199.99.99.99 - - [09/Apr/2004:14:27:21 +0100] "GET /appli/index.jsp HTTP/1.1" 200 5900 I failed to find in the configuration why the 2 tomcat instances behave differently for our web application. It is critical for us to have only one http request with the error code 404: any idea how can I control this behaviour in the tomcat or web application configuration ?
