Hi all, My name is Jake. I'm a newbie to tomcat and I'm working on setting up the rewrite valve. I've configured it host specific rather than global. I have put my rewrite.config file inside of my Catalina base for the host name and I know I'm reading the file at the very least because if i fill it with gunk it crashes tomcat. my first rule is just trying to rewrite from an empty forward slash: "RewriteRule ^/$ /path/to/jsp" (quoted for email purposes) If I enter the jsp path in the browser it will take me there but I'm not getting my rewrite if i just leave the /. Any help would be appreciated and thank you in advance! - Jake Orel
