Hello Andre',
Yes, this looks strange but this webapp (https://ramlink.txwes.edu:8443/WebAdvisor/WebAdvisor) needs to have 2 levels down. It can have a different name at this levels (like WebAdvisor/Production), but it needs to have this format for it to work.
Do You mean that make the https://ramlink.txwes.edu:8443/WebAdvisor/WebAdvisor to be the "default webapp" or https://ramlink.txwes.edu to the "default webapp" ? Do you know the article which talks about this? I could not find it.
See :

#17
I meant to make it so that both "http://ramlink.txwes.edu:8080/"; and
"http://ramlink.txwes.edu:8443/"; lead directly to your webapp, but if you confirm that it
somehow "must be" configured as "/WebAdvisor/x" then you may be out of luck with the
standard and easy method.
You might need to create a ROOT context which "forwards" the calls to "/", to
"/WebAdvisor/". For that kind of thing, you may want to look at the URLRewrite filter, at
http://www.tuckey.org if I remember right.
Note that it is quite bad practice for an application to force one to install it under any
particular "context name". It probably means that the application itself
generates/contains self-referencing absolute URLs in the pages which it returns, which
will probably create some additional headaches for you in terms of getting it to work
correctly under the root ("/") context.
You should really contact the developers of that application, for this question.
Thanks

Hello Everyone,
I have tried to redirect or forward a URL on tomcat but I am not sure how to do
this.
The tomcat console is http://ramlink.txwes.edu:8080 or
https://ramlink.txwes.edu:8443. I created a web application which has the URL
is https://ramlink.txwes.edu:8443/WebAdvisor/WebAdvisor. I would like to
redirect the https://ramlink.txwes.edu to
https://ramlink.txwes.edu:8443/WebAdvisor/WebAdvisor.
In addition, the tomcat version is 7.0 on windows 2008 R2.
Any help would greatly appreciate.
What you probably want, is to have this webapp become the "default webapp", so
that it responds itself to the URL http://ramlink.txwes.edu:8080/.
For that, you need to change it into the ROOT webapp.
I'm quite sure that there is a Tomcat FAQ article for that.
Note that I am bit surprised that currently your app responds to "/WebAdvisor/WebAdvisor"
(instead of just "/WebAdvisor"). That looks like a misconfiguration already somehow.
