Hi All, Supportin temporary or permanent redirection of matching requests in Tomcat is pious vow from some times now (http://www.jajakarta.org/tomcat/tomcat3.2-4.0/tomcat-4.0b5/src/catalina/docs/dev/todo.html see [org.apache.catalina.valves.RedirectValve])
So when in OFBiz, using Apache server as frontal with jkmount, if someone ask for a domain (say http://www.domain.com) this activate a redirection to http://www.domain.com/control/main. An you get a 302 redirect (moved temporarily) and not a 301 (permanent). Not persuaded ? see http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/. This makes sense because if it's permanent why use something dynamic ? But the problem with 302 is that it's not good for search engines (this is clearly explained in the 2d link below). So I searched for a solution. I found 2 a.. http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=231044 b.. http://blog.spaceprogram.com/2003/06/fixing-tomcat-302-redirect-issue_18.html I tried the 1st in 1st place but got not the expected result. I guess because the jkmount gives no chance to a 404. I wonder now how OFBiz users deals with this problem before creating my own Tomcat version (actually I will simply replace the concerned class in the corresponding jar) inspired by the 2d solution... Any ideas, advices ? Thanks Jacques PS : I looked also at rewrite rules solutions as in http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum92/2309.htm
