It sounds great, I will just add tuckey filter in root web app and do
whatever redirection needed there.
thanks a lot :)

Not my understanding. You'll need to have the filter in the ROOT webapp, since that's where Tomcat will send requests that aren't satisfied by an explicit request. At that point, the URL rewrite filter can modify the request any way you want, and either forward or redirect to the proper URL. (I would think redirect in your case, so the proper URL will be used in subsequent requests by the client. If you choose to use forward, you'll need to enable the cross-context attribute for ROOT in its <Context> element.)

thanks for your reply !
I have downloaded it earlier today :)
As far as I understand tuckey can't help me in rewriting the application
directory (context),
but rather the rest of url following the context.
thx

You can't configure Tomcat directly, but you can use this filter:
http://www.tuckey.org/urlrewrite/
