Is this a WAR root or subdirectory (and not a servlet)? if so then yes, take a look at section 10.10 of the servlet spec. It just uses the term "redirect" and in all other places in the spec they refer to 302 with the word redirect, and never 301.

I think it used to forward.

I am not sure which makes more sense. 301 would be more efficient but I can think of some contrived scenarios where you change the layout of your war and the client misbehaves.

e.g you have foo.war/blah/ as a directory but then you later map blah to a servlet, so then the servlet gets the trailing slash which it somehow mishandles. 

Hmm. As I say that I am leaning more towards 301.

IMO the TCK should accept any redirect status code, since it is not restricted in the spec.
