Hi all,

In my Tomcat setup I have a Context called "hal" which
contains all my applications, HTML everything.

 <Context path="/hal" docBase="hal" debug="0" privileged="true"
reloadable="true">

Therefore I run things with a URL such including "/hal"



Way back when I started with Tomcat I set the "Tomcat Root Context"
to point to the same docBase directory so any requests to "/page.html"
would resolve to "/hal/page.html".

 <!-- Tomcat Root Context -->
 <Context path="" docBase="hal" debug="0"/>


The problem I now have is that all the initialisation of /hal
is run twice. Once for each context. Since I have several
servlets with <load-on-startup> set this is a pain.

Question
========

What is the cleanest way to redirect requests made to "/" to "/hal"?
Can I do this by setting something up in the web.xml file for
the "/" context. Then I could remove the docBase="hal".



Best regards
Chris
