Redirecting is fine.

Perhaps you should take a step back and decide: what do you actually want, here? You might be trying to solve problem X by applying solution Y, and you've already decided that solution Y is correct so you are trying to get help with that.

Perhaps ask for help with Problem X?

For example, "I don't want users to have to type the name of my application to reach it so I want example.com/ to go to my application instead of example.com/myapp/".

Or, "I have multiple domains and I want all of them to redirect to the canonical domain example.com and to go to me web application /myapp so everything goes to example.com/myapp/".

"You'd have to use a glob/regex if
you wanted to check for [anything and maybe nothing.]example.com."

There is nothing in your configuration or question that suggests that the hostname in the request is relevant, but you are making it a *requirement* that the request contains a specific Host header. IF you don't actually need that, why do you have it?

Thank you very much. I removed <Host> for example.com as well as adding

Removed < in rewrite.config files.

But still I dont redirect the URL.

If you have <Context> in server.xml and also your application in the
webapps/ directory, then you will be double-deploying your application.

Re-name /git/app/apache-tomcat-10.1.11/webapps/towl/ to be
/git/app/apache-tomcat-10.1.11/webapps/ROOT (the capitals are important)
and remove the <Context> element from your server.xml.

Then start your server and read the logs.

*nslookup alias.example.com <http://alias.example.com>
gives-->Non-authoritative answer:Name:     www.example.com
<http://www.example.com>Address:  192.168.200.10Aliases:
alias.example.com
<http://alias.example.com>*


Just to give some information here, *www.example.com
<http://www.example.com>* has alias* "alias.example.com
<http://alias.example.com>"*
But https://www.example.com:7777/example --> works fine with out issues
but
the alias doesnot works (https://alias.example.com)
So i am not sure if the redirect url helps or if its correct

Your rewrite configuration says that you have to be using host
"example.com" but your request goes to www.example.com. Your
configuration should only redirect a request such as:

$ curl -v http://example.com:7777/something

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
...
Location: https://www.example.com:7777/example

If you make a request like:

$ curl -v http://www.example.com:7777/something

I wouldn't expect a redirect because of your "host" condition. The
"%{HTTP_HOST} example.com" looks at the entire Host header and not just
anything that ends in "example.com". You'd have to use a glob/regex if
you wanted to check for [anything and maybe nothing.]example.com.

You'd also have to make sure that your application is serving responses
to requests to / which is why I'm recommending you use the ROOT web
application name instead of "towl".

This file ^^^ is in the wrong place. It should be in
/git/app/apache-tomcat-10.1.11/webapps/towl/META-INF/context.xml

/git/app/apache-tomcat-10.1.11/webapps/towl/WEB-INF/rewrite.config

<RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} example.com [NC]
<RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ https://www.example.com:7777/example [R=301,L]

Why do you have < symbols at the beginning of these lines?

server.xml

   > [...]

         <Host name="example.com" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true">
             <Context path="" docBase="towl" />

It's best not to define any <Context> in server.xml. I would remove this
<Context> entirely and allow Tomcat to auto-reploy from your
webapps/towl directory. If you need this application to be deployed as
the ROOT context (on / and not /towl) then you should re-name
/git/app/apache-tomcat-10.1.11/webapps/towl to
/git/app/apache-tomcat-10.1.11/webapps/ROOT

You also don't need a <Host> for example.com as well as adding an
<Alias> for the same domain (though this is probably to anonymize the
configuration). You can feel free to simply use the "localhost" <Host>
as the default <Host> and deploy everything into it. This makes your
configuration changes relative to a stock Tomcat less significant and
easier to apply to new versions if/when necessary.

So according to the documentaion they say context.xml should be
placed
under webapps and rewrite.config file should be put in WEB-INF folder
of
apache-tomcat . I placed and restarted tomcat webserver but still it
doesnot redirect.

Can you give full paths to both server.xml and rewrite.config, re-post
your current server.xml <Context> element, and the complete contents
of
rewrite.config?

Have you looked at the log files after start?

Hi Team,

I am using "Tomcat 10.1" in our environment and I wanted to
redirect

suggest.
The url alone https://www.servercom:7777/ already works. But just
redirection from the old to one doesnot.

<Host name="example.com" appBase="app" unpackWARs="true"

                         <Alias>example.com</Alias>
                         <!-- Rewrite rule to redirect to
www.servercom:8080/example -->
                         <RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} example\.com
[NC]
                         <RewriteRule ^/(.*)$
https://www.servercom:7777/example/$1 [R=301,L]

1. That isn't valid XML.

2. Where in the Tomcat docs does it say you can nest re-write rules
in
a
Host element (or any other element)?

                     </Host>
                 </Engine>
             </Host>
         </Engine>
</Host>

You need to configure the RewriteValve.
