I think you missed much of the discussion; this part is based on having just one <Service> element with multiple <Connector>s. Strictly speaking, the filter is necessary only in this case, where the port 666 <Connector> is part of that single <Service> along with the regular port 80 <Connector>. If a separate <Service> is configured just for port 666, no filter is necessary, although using UrlRewriteFilter would likely be the easiest way of implementing the dummy ROOT webapp, but marginally less efficient than coding a servlet to do the forwarding. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
