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.
