Hello, If what you need is to redirect any request to http://www.yoursite.com/yOuRwEbapP (yourwebapp being case insensitive) to http://www.yoursite.com/yourwebapp (yourwebapp being case sensitive and being the context path to which you have deployed your app to), what you need is a servlet filter. Note that what is called "the context path" is only the "yourwebapp" part, the "www.yoursite.com" is not a part of it, strictly speaking.
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-tomcat2/ http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-tomcat/ Quoting this source, basically "a filter enables Web application developers to create flexible application components that could be inserted and chained into the application server's request flow -- before and after the actual request was processed". It allows you to monitor & modify every single request coming to your Tomcat and then, to modify (forward) the requested URL, for instance.
