Remy Maucherat resolved JBAS-7079.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix


Yes, the request must be mappable to a webapp for any processing to occur. This behavior has existed in Tomcat for a long time now, and is a feature request (that is not really doable, though).

> 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.
