url redirects.

[dobbyg]

Can I redirect a virtual host to another server without having to provide a link?

Thanks

Rob.

What? You can redirect to anything. Don't know what "From a virtual server" means. You redirect the browser to a web resource, what server you send the HTTP redirect command from is inconsequential, that’s the whole point.

>> without having to provide a link?

Don’t know what that means. You have to give the URL to redirect to otherwise where would the browser go? On the other hand a “link” is NOT a HTTP REDIRECT (302)

What I am trying to say is that the url points o my web server but my web server then repoints the urls to another server on the same subnet. In the server.xml file I differentiate between

http://www.abc.com

and

http://www.bcd.com.

The appbase for

http://www.abc.com

is not on the webserver but on another server which also has tomcat running.

I am new to the web stuff and still have a couple of questions re whats possible and whats not. I haven't finished reading Proffesional Apache Tomcat either.

Thanks for your help
