Aliasing urls in Tomcat (without using Apache)

[Graeme Miller <Gr...@AdvantageGroup.co.nz>]

We need a way of aliasing urls in tomcat 3.2.1 so we don't have to set up
Apache for local development on our workstations.

eg  /mytest needs to resolve to the servlet context /myproject/mytest  

Is there a way of doing this in Tomcat (perhaps in the server.xml or
web.xml?) without involving putting Apache at the front to do a proxy pass?

Regards,

Graeme.

Kill apache, run tomcat on port 80 instead of port 8080. and then change
your server.xml to something like this :

        <RequestInterceptor
            className="org.apache.tomcat.request.InvokerInterceptor"
            debug="0" prefix="/servlet/" />

        <RequestInterceptor
            className="org.apache.tomcat.request.InvokerInterceptor"
            debug="0" prefix="/servlets/" />

(were using this in coop with apache and are serving the servlets under
http://<servername>/servlet http://<servername>/servlets
So this should (never tested it btw..) also run like this without apache.

Hope you get it working..
