URL redirect

[ranjan manohar]

Hi,

I have an application running in apache-tomcat-6.0.20. Is it possible to redirect the following url "http://localhost:8080/someapp/login.jsp" to another url "http://localhost:8090/someapp/login.jsp" since 8080 port is already in use. My requirement is if anyone try to access the url with 8080 port it should automatically redirect to url with 8090 port.

Any help is appreciated.

You say there's another unrelated server already listening at port 8080? Then that server is going to get all the requests sent to port 8080. That's how it works.

I suppose you could try playing around with your network routers to do this sort of port mapping, but then the unrelated server wouldn't get any requests. In which case you might just as well shut it down and have your server run at port 8080, which is what you wanted anyway. So just shut down the other server and run yours at port 8080.

I am not sure if I understood your requirement correctly.

But if this is a deployment requirement, can you please check the Apache httpd mod_jk plugin?

You can define workers( for example the Tomcat server running on 8090) and map a URL pattern to be routed to the worker.

Hope this helps.
