How Do I do (Can I do) Apache like redirects in Tomcat

[Rob Tanner <rt...@linfield.edu>]

Hi,

I would like to setup an HTTPS connector in Tomcat (v 5.5.23) that 
listens on port 28080.  That part's easy enough and there is already a 
certificate installed. 

Here's the part I'm having trouble with.  Whenever a browser send a GET 
request to that port, I need to return a redirect to an entirely 
different server (different IP, etc) listening on port 28443.  I cannot 
figure out anyway to do that.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rob

Implement a filter/Servlet and do a redirect there

response.sendRedirect(..);
