On our system, we've changed the uri for admin and manager to /tomcat/admin and /tomcat/manager, respectively. This to me seems like a good and obvious change since /admin is way to generic and too many things want to own that name. The change is made in admin.xml and manager.xml, in the webapps directory. Since the applications themselves do not live in webapps, and since you can rename admin.xml and manager.xml and change their context names, this should not be a difficult fix to get it out of your way.

However, right now my problem is that I've been put on a project which has already been made to redirect to http://localhost:8080/admin/adminlistcompanies.jsp. We use Action classes which redirect to URLs listed in a properties file. This properties file makes no notice of which context it is in. It doesn't matter if I put the whole web site in a separate context - clicking on the link will redirect to http://localhost:8080/admin/adminlistcompanies.jsp. The person who did something to overcome this has now left the company!!!! So, I'm in the bad position of trying to figure out how it was avoided to redirect to the wrong context (right now it redirects to http:/localhost:8080/admin/login.jsp instead of http://localhost:8080/admin/adminlistcompanies.jsp. If you could give me some suggestions it would be most appreciated. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Jacob Kjome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 4 April 2003 3:53 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Disabling redirect to admin This is the very reason why ROOT is not a good idea to use for your context. If you want a default context, just add an index.html to the ROOT context to redirect to the context you want people to be at. For instance: http://localhost:8080/ redirects to... http://localhost:8080/mycontext/ Within "mycontext" you can have any directory hierarchy you want without clashing with the namespaces of other registered contexts on the server (such as the Tomcat "admin" context). So, you can now have... http://localhost:8080/mycontext/admin/ Use the root context for nothing other than docs and/or a redirect file to the context you want to have as the default on the server.
