Thanks for the quick reply, Francis!
My httpd.conf file doesn't have a single VirtualHost defined because I
am using mod_jk to forward all the requests to Tomcat. Otherwise I
understand how your solution would have worked. :)
I have alternate solution that involves changing Tomcat's server.xml
(which I've outlined below). However, its not as clean as using
mod_rewrite.
Thanks,
Shashi
Change tomcat/conf/server.xml as follows....
<Host name="xyz.com" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Context path="" docBase="xyzredirect">
</Context>
</Host>
<Host name="www.xyz.com" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Context path="" docBase="wwwxyz">
</Context>
</Host>
Put following code in webapps/xyzredirect/index.jsp
<%
//send HTTP 301 status code to browser
response.setStatus(response.SC_MOVED_PERMANENTLY);
//send user to new location
response.setHeader("Location", "http://www.xyz.com";);
%>
