Depending on whether you really want to redirect or perform proxying you have to do different things. 1) A simple redirect. You can send a redirect and just make all requests go to your servlet using the default web application web.xml file to map all requests to go to a servlet. Must be the default web app/context. 2) Http pass through proxy like mod_proxy that Apache can use. You will need to create a Filter and install it into your "default web application" for the given Host or Server, or you could also use a Servlet for this and have all requests come through that servlet (default web app as well). Regardless you'll have to get your ServletRequest as an HttpServletRequest package it all back up and then use an HttpClient instance to proxy the request through to another server and filter back through your single end point. This makes your requests go to be processed by different systems, yet they come through one from end. Nothing but simple pass through. Someone else might know of some project which is already doing this. It would be nice if you could find one that would watch a properties or xml file with the proxy information sort of like the Apache conf file will have for mod_proxy and then reload it and the new rules when the file changed.
