Subject: How to forward all kind of request from ROOT to another
subdirectory?

Hello,

I need to forward all kind of request from the ROOT, i.e
http://localhost:8080/ to http://localhost:8080/myRoot

Is it possible, do I need to create a redirect servlet? However, I
think

tomcat can be configured to behave that way?

Hi, I am using UrlRedirectFilter.

Also, I am able to redirect with UrlRedirectFilter from
http://localhost:8080 to http://localhost:8080/myRoot

However my problem now is that I want to keep the URL in the browser
relative to the original ROOT, i.e. right now when I request for
http://localhost:8080/index.html it will show
http://localhost:8080/myRoot/index.html

but I want to keep it like http://localhost:8080/index.html and for
all other request.

Maybe I need to do something with the rules in the urlrewrite.xml

Any ideas?

Why do you not just rename "myRoot" to "ROOT", making this the default
application ?

Hi Andre,

Thanks. I know about placing the web app (like myRoot) under the ROOT and it will work. However, there is another issue I that comes when I do this, an issue with my GWT (http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/) web app, where the the client-side code cannot access the services (servlets).

My gwt application works just fine in the myRoot folder of the tomcat webapps folder. So my idea, is just forward every access to the ROOT to myRoot.

But then again, if there's a better solution I am may want to try it.
