Hi, I need help with Tomcat 5.5. Here is the situation I have a servlet application with url http://serverip:8080/name.
How i can make a tomcat to redirect all request sent to http://servername.org go to http://serverip:8080/appna
My backup plan is to use IIS to do the redirect to tomcat, but i am sure that there is much easier way.
Tnak you

It looks like Tomcat is a scale down version of Apache. Its definitely doable, but I am not a java guy. My way around for now is running IIS on the same box to redirect all the requests. Probably there is a much better solution and will continue looking for it. Leaving the url as it is, is not an option for me.
Thank you
1) As mentioned above, run tomcat on port 80.
In CATALINA_HOME/conf/servers
<Service name="Catalina"> <---- Inside this Service tag...
<Connector port="80" <---- This is what you need to change
2) Also, as mentioned above, make sure that servername.org points to the machine on which tomcat is running.
3) Have the context in CATALINA_HOME/conf/servers
<Host name="servername.org" appBase="PATH_TO_YOUR_WEBA
<Context path="" docBase="."/>
</Host>

tomcat would need to be listeneing on port 80 to be able to do that (and if it was you probably wouldn't need to redirect).
so it sounds like u need to handle it externally to tomcat
