One thing you could do is have an entry in your webapps\ROOT
folder called like: MyAppRedirect.html (name can be anything)
Inside the file you need something like: <META
HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=../myApp/connection ">
In your conf\web.xml at the bottom of it, you'll see 3 lines
shown below: <welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list>
Change this to point to your MyAppRedirect.html page.
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>MyAppRedirect.html</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
That's a simple way to redirect your application. Your DNS /
reverse proxy could take care of the port # and users only need
to call your application by name
(https://callMyApplication.domain.com) when the DNS/reverse proxy
redirects it to the server's port say 8088, the html file appends
the remaining portion of the url to what the users typed.

Hello all
I am new to the list. This is what i am trying to do but
need help on:
I have a webapp running on tomcat 8:
https://myapp.example.com:8443/myapp
I am going to set up a DNS record myapp.example.com which
will point to the IP address of the tomcat server that
hosts the webapp.. I want this new DNS record
myapp.example.com to redirect to
https://myapp.example.com:8443/myapp. In other words, I
want the URL to redirect port 80 to the URL for the
webapp automatically so the users will not have to enter
in the port number whenever they want to browse to the
webapp. I tried doing research on google and I was not
able to find a straight forward way of doing this. Any
help is greatly appreciated!
The first thing you would have to check, is whether port
80 is still
free on that server, or if there is already another
webserver (e.g. Apache httpd) using it.
The second thing to clarify is whether, apart from "myapp",
there are other web applications (not called "myapp") which
you are running or would want to run under Tomcat on that
server. If not, then you might want to run your application
as the *default* application, so that users would get to it
with the URL " https://myapp.example.com:8443/";, instead of
" https://myapp.example.com:8443/myapp";. To do this first,
have a look at : http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo and
look at #17 : How do I make my web application be the
tomcat default application
It will just be easier if you clear up the above points
first, because there are multiple possibilities, and it
narrows down the scope of the tips we can provide.

Hello Andre
thank you for your response.
There are no other webservers running on this machine. There
are other web apps as well, but the only way to access them
is through myapp. So should I deploy myapp as the default app
?
Yes, I think that it will make the rest easier. So do that, as
per the instructions above, and then we will continue.

Thank you for the tidbit about how to reply :) So I used number
17 from the website and i deployed the war file as the ROOT.war
file. What should the next steps be?
I thank you again for all of your help!
Thank you Steve for the suggestion. Will this work with out using a
reverse proxy? My management told me not to use a reverse proxy
Yes, you can do this without a reverse proxy, but removing the port
number can be a bit of an issue, which is why a reverse proxy is
sometimes recommended: it's just easier that way -- especially if
another web server is already available for that purpose.
For more help, you'll have to give us more information about your
environment: OS, other services already available on the network, etc.
For example, if an appropriate reverse proxy is already available,
then you can point your DNS record to that proxy, and use a virtual
host for that domain name. Then, proxy everything to your Tomcat instanc
e.
Actually, I was thinking of using Tomcat only, and configuring 2 <Host> :
- one to listen on port 80, with a single and simple default app which sends back a
"permanent redirect" to the other Host
- one to listen on the HTTPS port, with the real application
(or if not possible with 2 Hosts, then 2 separate Tomcat instances).
But yes, it would be simpler with a reverse proxy in front.
