RE: URL rewriting
Thanks very much Jurgen, redirecting using index.jsp works great!

Hi David,
ok here is how I am tackling this. It might not be eprfect but works for me.
If I am running Tomcat on Port 80, I am doing the following:
- edit $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/root/WEB-INF/web.xml and comment out
<servlet>
<servlet-name>org.apache.jsp.index_jsp</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.jsp.index_jsp</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>org.apache.jsp.index_jsp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/index.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
- edit $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/root/index.jsp to contain
<%
response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL("/MYAPP/app"));
%>
Then go and edit $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/MYAPP/WEB-INF/web.xml to contain:
<servlet-name>MYAPP</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.turbine.Turbine</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>applicationRoot</param-name>
<param-value>webContext</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>properties</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/conf/TurbineResources.properties</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MYAPP</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/app/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
then edit $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/MYADD/index.jsp and put
<%
response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL("/MYAPP/app"));
%>
in there too.
No if someone acces your host using
- http://yourhost.com/
- http://yourhost.com/MYAPP
he will be redirected onto http://yourhost.com/MYAPP/app and there then most
likely to your Index.vm depending on how your Turbine Application is
configured.
