How to forward all kind of request from ROOT to another subdirectory?
Hello,
I need to forward all kind of request from the ROOT, i.e
http://localhost:8080/ to http://localhost:8080/myRoot
Is it possible, do I need to create a redirect servlet? However, I think
tomcat can be configured to behave that way?

Hi Andre,
For "/somethingelse" yah that's what I mean. Every access to
"http://myhost:8080" will be "forwarded" to http://myhost:8080/myapp
Like if request is: http://myhost:8080/something.html, it will forward
it to http://myhost:8080/myapp/something.html
Or request like: http://myhost:8080/?q=test will be forwarded to
http://myhost:8080/myapp/?q=test
Is it possible?

I don't think that I really understand the problem.
Let me re-phrase it, and you tell us if that is what you want :
I want that when a browser accesses the URLs :
"http://myhost:8080" or "http://myhost:8080/"
(and only for those 2 specific URLs),
it is redirected to "http://myhost:8080/myapp/".
And I want that for all URLs which start with :
http://myhost:8080/myapp
they stay where they are (in "/myapp")
And I want that if they ask for
http://myhost:8080/something-else
they really get "/something-else" from within the webapps/ROOT/something-else directory.
Is that what you want ?

That sounds like a problem either with GWT (unlikely) or with your
webapp. Have you perchance been hard-coding your context paths?
Maybe we can help you fix your webapp so that you can re-home it
without these ugly hacks like semi-conditional redirection.

Hi Andre,
Thanks. I know about placing the web app (like myRoot) under the ROOT
and it will work. However, there is another issue I that comes when I do
this, an issue with my GWT (http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/) web app,
where the the client-side code cannot access the services (servlets).
My gwt application works just fine in the myRoot folder of the tomcat
webapps folder. So my idea, is just forward every access to the ROOT to
myRoot.
But then again, if there's a better solution I am may want to try it.

Why do you not just rename "myRoot" to "ROOT", making this the default application ?

Also, I am able to redirect with UrlRedirectFilter from
http://localhost:8080 to http://localhost:8080/myRoot
However my problem now is that I want to keep the URL in the browser
relative to the original ROOT, i.e. right now when I request for
http://localhost:8080/index.html it will show
http://localhost:8080/myRoot/index.html
but I want to keep it like http://localhost:8080/index.html and for all
other request.
Maybe I need to do something with the rules in the urlrewrite.xml
Any ideas?

Simplest would be to set up an index.html in the root path that
redirects to whatever you wish. You can find 500 hits on google about
how to do an HTML redirect.

Hello,
I need to forward all kind of request from the ROOT, i.e
http://localhost:8080/ to http://localhost:8080/myRoot
Is it possible, do I need to create a redirect servlet? However, I think
