Can't redirect root requests without ROOT.war --------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-7079 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-7079 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Web (Tomcat) service Affects Versions: JBossAS-5.1.0.GA Environment: Windows XP, JDK 1.6.0_14 Reporter: Rostyslav Smirnov Assignee: Remy Maucherat When ROOT.war is removed, root URL request always returns 404, ignoring URL rewrite rules. Steps to reproduce: 1) Set up a single URL rewriting rule for jboss.web engine that redirects root requests: RewriteRule ^/$ /admin-console/ [R] At this point everything works and http://localhost:8080/ becomes http://localhost:8080/admin-console/ 2) As the ROOT.war is now inaccessible, remove or rename it. Now http://localhost:8080/ just returns 404, ignoring the rule. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
