Taking hints from doc page, http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/rewrite.html and your log, you seems to be missing path prex in your substitution string. Can you prefix /to index.jsp to your substituion string. That is: RewriteRule (.*) index.jsp [L] > > Checking localhost_access.log gives me > > 127.0.0.1 - - [24/Nov/2014:10:42:18 +0800] "GET /web/ HTTP/1.1" 500 2990 > > > > I cannot figure out what is the problem, because I can't find anymore > errors, or stacktrace in any of my logfiles, catalina.stderr etc... > > I can't find any information with regard to resource path [null].
