How to redirect a URL to another URL in Tomcat 5.5?

[Benz <be...@yahoo.com>]

Hi, I need help with Tomcat 5.5.
Here is the situation, I have a servlet application with URL
http://serverip:8080/name.
How can i make a tomcat to redirect all request sent to
http://servername.org go to http://serverip:8080/appname ?

Thank you.

1) Configure the HTTP <Connector> to use port 80, not 8080.

2a) Change the name of your default webapp to ROOT (case sensitive) so
no redirect is necessary.

     - or -

2b) Put a welcome page (e.g., index.html) under ROOT that does an
immediate redirect to the desired webapp.

It's not clear in your post if "name" and "appname" are meant to be same
thing; if not, then I don't really know what you're looking for.
