I think everything you have above is correct, except that you want to deploy everything in the ROOT application instead of into "app1". With "app1", you are re-writing "/app1/app1" to "/app1/app2" when in fact you want to rewrite "/app1" to "/app2", correct? Also, it's important that /app1 not be a deployed application, otherwise requests to that context path with be sent to the /app1 application instead of to the ROOT webapp. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJZFfGGAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYlfsQAK9+rFzKtrrPS73Ma9VDclkn Lr3oG65TdKPhwVEtQlQoxLggX3GLiepImPzjY52rnMhxCZj+tt5n/fCkqVzEPnIp /NNgz/nX/GWqYjU11V58Azh2GRrjBqCJmesawxB/Y5+2NjcW6PrXJNje5PBmkbjs QkI5ftAYih7zxWQ4yASJfYwOmmjPpdNfyEM0IR/qkh/VnTz5bVu0/EgeOOK0/Dny EsK+3ptm+gdTNVt9jqwEnhWx5tsgpanhTycyyagwROT2A7NaldIi7xARPW3ZlSSF 0ncvQ8Z3G0KolBsGsDVyNgNv+bF38sfxOaN7xyp9GXFJVX5hKfRFBphiWPl+jjzz mwPcA3MsqDM3fQ4hMTAffmnUAj786pTZ6MCjDnumFjnQZB0zXASEpfI4G9f3+dKM fiVdjUQxgrXlUl6wcqBGUidN5PDb+akY8w9xNDl3PvBjrXfFIIfttLgGmxF5cej6 dkvLqZoitIDzt8dOkWSns3UdK+fq3a1Hjw1BOPlvnvKbnhz2QXrxua6WMDQapohs JUUkAR3sujPUs/Tgjq5SiIEBe9sbwQTysNgtw9MzFUmAB7D87cCt0zI8dCbaL54Z iYUI0+IDVG7rc7+TwFeRo+ok96qMK1IKCiZt/8pe/097WcWMQq9FeYpGAg4YgZYo bwhJFBohEZeuwZCwhN9F =J7pC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
