Website hosting in tomcat 5.5
 

hello guys,

i do not have much experience on such things but I have an application (WAR format) deployed on tomcat 5.5. I am able to access the application using: "http://my_server_hostname/application_base_directory_name/hello.do" for example. I do not want my users to remember or bookmark the full link ("http://my_server_hostname/application_base_name/hello.do"). Is there a way that i could have tomcat host it like a website and i can directly get the index page open by simply typing a url (http://hostname) in the browser? if possible, i would like to do it using tomcat only (no httpd connectors or modules).

thx in advance.

Hi,

If you want to rewrite the URI without involving a reverse httpd proxy and/or mod_jk, then you may try this filter
