No: If it comes in at port 80, nothing "different" is supposed to happen. So /xxxx should do whatever /xxxx would always do. Yes: If it comes in on 666, I want it to behave as if it called for /myapp/xxxx > So you need 2 Connectors : > <Connector port="80"...> > <Connector port="666" ..> > Tomcat passes the request to the same <Host ..> anyway, which > has a top location for webapps, probably (tomcat-dir)/webapps/. > Tomcat will try to match the "/xxxx" request to a webapp > located at (tomcat-dir)/webapps/xxxx. > So you would need a webapp there, even if it is a dummy, just > so that you have a place to put your filter and its > (tomcat-dir)/webapps/xxxx/WEB-INF/web.xml > configuration file, and its classes or jars. > In that web.xml, you will tell Tomcat that "around" the dummy > webapp, there is a filter, and that it should handle all > request URLs starting with "/xxxx". > What the filter does then is up to you. > I think that urlrewrite would be able to re-direct this call > to the webapp at "/myapp/xxxx", just by a couple of > configuration lines. That will NOT work then. Because the "xxxx" is a random word, not a constant, nor the name of a servlet. Think wikipedia, the request might be for /foo or /bar or whatever, and the servlet uses that word for its own purposes (it will look it up in the database and return something interesting). M.
