Subject:RE: RewriteRules and Standalone Tomcat

I've deployed an app using Tomcat Standalone (www.hotel.us) and while there have been several issues that were a little less than obvious, I have found a solution to every single one of them and am overall pretty satisfied with tomcat. but this one little thing would force me to have to go to apache.

As has been said, try Matt Parker's patch. It should work the way that Craig mentioned, and Tomcat 5 should also work that way from what I read.

1. A comparison was made - using tomcat as a web server is like racing a mac truck.

Yeah, that'd be my stated opinion, and I'm sure that someone will disagree with it. As far as I'm concerned, for many applications Tomcat Standalone is like flying cotton canvas sails on a beautiful ACC sloop. Yeah, you'll get somewhere, but I'll take Kevlar any time. Note that in this metaphor, Tomcat is a beautiful ACC sloop (nicer imagery than a Mack truck), but the built-in web server (cotton canvas) still isn't the equal of Apache (Kevlar). If you want the most out of your boat, you equip it properly.

If this sort of issue is defended by the community (302s etc) then there should be a blatant disclaimer when downloading the standalone that it is not intended for production use.

I have no idea whether the Tomcat developers actually consider the built-in web server to be production quality or not. It really would depend upon what you demanded of it. Personally, I'd never use it except for prototyping. Even for a Web service server, I might want the load balancing option provided by a front-end server. But, again, that's my personal opinion. YMMV. And, once again, since you have a published fix for the problem, I can't see that this is redirect v forward issue should continue to be viewed as an issue.
