redirecting requests
I have a website who's URL looks like this:
http://server.mydomain.com/appname/servlet/appname/
I would like users to be able to type in
http://server.mydomain.com and be redirected to the above URL
How can I do this?

If you are using a docBase of "ROOT", there must be a directory called ROOT
under that Host's appBase. That is where your file goes.
So, if you have:
<Host name="myhost" appBase="webapps" />
and
<Context path="/" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/>
Then your file belongs in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT.

RE: redirecting requests
Posted by Ilan Azbel <il...@mdio.net>.
I am struggling to get this right.
I am using Turbine on a Linux platform. I have the following in the
server.xml file:
<Context path="/" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/>
I have created an index.html file that redirects (not a .jsp as mentioned
below) that contains the following code:
<html>
<head>
<script>
document.location="http://server.mydomain.com/appname/servlet/appname/";
</script>
</head>
</html>
I am struggling to understand where I must place this file the directory
structure. I have already copied the file into the following locations but I
have had no luck:
/usr/tdk-2.2/webapps/appname/docs/index.html
/usr/tdk-2.2/webapps/appname/index.html
/usr/tdk-2.2/webapps/appname/WEB-INF/index.html
/usr/tdk-2.2/webapps/index.html
I don't know whether I should create a directory called ROOT inside
"webapps" or what?
When I type in a URL I either get the message
-------------------------------------------------------------------
type: Status report
message: No Context configured to process this request
description: The server encountered an internal error (No Context configured
to process this request) that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
..or ..
-------------------------------------------------------------------
type: Status report
message: /
description: The requested resource (/) is not available.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
depending on how I fiddle with the entries in server.xml
Do you have any idea how to interpret the messages? How should I configure
server.xml and where would be my root directory?

Re: redirecting requests
Posted by Tim Funk <fu...@joedog.org>.
In your ROOT webapp (see server.xml) create a tiny index.jsp:
--
<%@ page session="false" %>
<%response.sendRedirect("/appname/servlet/appname/");%>
--
OR
--
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core/c.tld" prefix="c" %>
<%@ page session="false" %>
<c:redirect url="/appname/servlet/appname/" />
--
OR Use ScriptAlias from apache
OR Use a servlet wich also does the above
