Hello,

After hours of googling and browsing documentation, i came to the conclusion that what i want is either so trivial that everybody knows how to do it, or so complicated that no one ever tried it...

I want to accomplish the following in Tomcat 5.5:

http://myserver:80/xxx just does whatever it always does.
http://myserver:666/xxx is equivalent to http://myserver:80/myapp/xxx

So i want all requests targetted at a particular port (666) in this case to be forwarded to a particular servlet, which is also served under its own subdirectory on the regular HTTP port 80.

This sound like a simple reverse proxy running at 666 and forwarding to 8080/myapp. Unless I'm missing some critical details its 10 minute configuration issue for tinyproxy (but i dont guarrantee the times). Varnish and squid also come in mind as well as httpd with mod_proxy or mod_jk
Regards

I can set up a connector at port 666 and have all its request go somewhere else, but then the application cannot be reached through the normal port (80), which is crucial for this thing to work. Installing two copies will accomplish that, but then the two copies live in different universes and cannot communicate - and setting up some IPC between them is overkill i'd say.
