Title: Redirection in iPlanet

If the uri you want to send it to, is on a different machine your can use the response.sendRedirect("http://www.abc.com); on your HttpServletResponse instance. So what you could is :

 

// req is your HttpServletRequest instance

String requestingHost = req.getRemoteHost();

// You may have to do something with the URL like parse the string to remove extra information.

 

if (requestingHost .equals("http://xyz.com/un/en"){

    response.sendRedirect("http://www.mircrosoft.com");

}

 

I don't know if the version of I'Planet is servlet 2.3 compatible...but if it is you can look into using a filter. Hope this gets you started.

Subject: Redirection in iPlanet

Hi all,

This might be a bit off-topic, but i dint know where else to post this query..

i face a situation on iplanet such that all urls of a particular pattern
for example http://xyz.com/un/en/* need to be redirected to another
page, like a customised error page. Can somebody tell me how to
achieve this??
I did find the link in iplanet administration pages where we can forward/
redirect requests based on urls, but is it possible to redirect url patterns
using wildcard characters like '*'? and where can we do this??
The iPlanet we use is 4.1 with ATG-Dynamo as the App-server.

Any help in this would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance.
