I have a server running tomcat 5.5.  Currently user's in IE type http://imsserver/webtop to open their application.  I want to use and alias called webtop so they can type http://webtop and have ti go to http://ims/webtop.

I've create an alias on the DNS server called webtop.  I am trying to configure the tomcat server to have so the alias http://ims/webtop open http://imsserver/webtop.

Answer : Tomcat Alias

Hi,

Thanks for your input.  I have Apache Tomcat 5.5.  The solution I found was to create another host entry for the webpage I want to be my default/ alias in the server.xml file.  


              unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
            xmlValidation="true" xmlNamespaceAware="true">

Cut the webtop folder from the webapps directory.  Create a new folder called webapps2, past webtop there and rename it to ROOT.  Then bounce the apache service.  This allowed me to keep my other webapps running.  But set weptop as the default site.

Thanks,

Rob
