I have installed a Tomcat server on port 8000... I have a windows 2003 server with static IP where Tomcat is installed. I nedd the following feature...
When an user type xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 in its browser, the traffic have to be redirect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8000/ApplicationName
it is possible?? I think I have to configure the router...
Yes, you can do a port forwarding on your router. To forward port 8080 to port 8000. Depending on what type of router you have this is different on almost every router.
See in the router for something called routing or applications
Hi there, redirection 8080 to 8000 is your firewall/router task, redirection / to /ApplicationName/Servlet is your Apache/Tomcat configuration or just simple files redirection in index.html redirection like this: <html> <head> <title>Redirecting Page</title> <META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="0"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="1;url=http://destination_page"> </head> <body> </body> </html>
I can't just redirect...when the machine connects to that address it sends data automatically. I have to read this data... If I redirect the data is loosed...
Hi, if you can't redirect, then all you need is just port forwarding in your firewall/router. The simple way is re-route all traffic from outside port 80 to your machine port 8080. You can also set up a single server software firewall in your machine to serve this (such as Comodo?), though.
