Neal, I told you that solution in the context of your avoiding a redirect (302), not in the context of standalone Tomcat. mod_rewrite is an Apache module.
http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-dev%40jakarta.apache.org/msg38750.html is the start of a thread on patching Tomcat to do a forward instead of a redirect. Matt Parker's latest patch (not the one in the message) was approved, so long as he keeps the default to the current behavior for now. For Tomcat 5, Remy Maucherat plans to include this functionality in the mapper. --- Noel P.S. If someone needs something from me, direct e-mail might be useful if I don't reply to the list promptly. I'm swamped, and sometimes don't have time to get to the tomcat-user folder. This was my first (and probably only) pass today, and I only checked this thread because RewriteRules is one of my fun topics. -----Original Message----- From: neal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 4:51 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RewriteRules and Standalone Tomcat What exaclty is a RewriteRule and how is it used with Standalone Tomcat? Do I define my RewriteRules somewhere in server.xml or web.xml? A couple of months ago, Noel told me how I could get Tomcat to show the content of the default welcome page without redirecting (http 302) to the file, using a RewriteRule. I took notes from that email and set it aside only to realize when I returned ... that I have no idea what to do with this info! And of course no info is available (that I could find) online or in the Tomcat manual explaining this. :( Could someone please explain how this RewriteRule would be integrated into Tomcat: RewriteRule ^/$ /index.html [L] Thanks!
