You can do this   If your tomcat installation is default and you have not done any changes  then the default war will be ROOT war  Thus whenever you will call http   yourserver example com   it will call the index html or index jsp of your default WAR file  Make the following changes in your webapp ROOT folder for redirecting requests to http   yourserver example com somewhere else    Open webapp ROOT WEB-INF web xml  remove any servlet mapping with path  index html or  index jsp  and save  Remove webapp ROOT index html  if it exists  Create the file webapp ROOT index jsp with this line of content    lt   response sendRedirect   some where      gt    or if you want to direct to a different server    lt   response sendRedirect  http   otherserver example com some where      gt     That s it

Take a look at UrlRewriteFilter which is essentially a java-based implementation of Apache s mod rewrite   You ll need to extract it into ROOT folder under your Tomcat s webapps folder  you can then configure redirects to any other context within its WEB-INF urlrewrite xml configuration file
