Just went through the pain of doing this with SSL for a deployment. You can also add an additional content line for localhost redirection as well as the actual server name content line
i.e. <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://servername.com/arsys/home";> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://localhost/arsys/home";> In my case I changed the default ports to 80 and 443(SSL) so no need for clients to put in port numbers. Port 80 in our case also redirects to SSL 443 by default so the system is always using SSL encryption.

When you install MT 7.1 and let it install Tomcat standalone, you have a: <Tomcat_base_folder>/webapps/ROOT folder. In that folder lies the default index.html page, which is the one that is shown when browsing to http://<servername>. BTW, the default index.html page for Tomcat bundled with MidTier is a page that simply states "Tomcat is running...". Simply rename this file (e.g. index.html.orig), then create a new index.html file and insert the following: <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://<WebServerName>:<port>/<ContextPath>/forms/<ARServ erName>/<FormName>"> </head> <body> </body> </html> In my case, for the URL I put http://<webservername>/arsys/home.

Ben, Try this link from Tomcat Wiki. You didn't state which webserver you plan to use. In apache, just replace the default index.htm* with the same snippet shown here, it works just as good. http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo#head-e82228c43a0ce77f71ebe64fc99ced3 3c9506ffe At any rate, it's a starting place. Your mileage will vary... ==Mac On 9/27/07, Watson, Benjamin A. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ** > > > > List, > > > > Recently, we've been toying around with MidTier 7.1 & RKM under Tomcat > standalone.
