To implement domain redirection in Tomcat, follow these steps:

  1. Open the configuration file server.xml of Tomcat, which is usually located in the conf directory of Tomcat.
  2. Locate the corresponding tag in server.xml and add the following configuration as needed.
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
    <Host name="example.com" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
        <Alias>www.example.com</Alias>
        <Alias>foo.example.com</Alias>
        <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.rewrite.RewriteValve" />
    </Host>
</Engine>

In this case, example.com is the domain that needs to be redirected, while www.example.com and foo.example.com are aliases for example.com that can be added as needed.

  1. Add redirect rules in the tags, for example:
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.rewrite.RewriteValve" />
  1. Save the server.xml file and restart the Tomcat server for the redirect configuration to take effect.

By following the above steps, you can implement domain redirection in Tomcat.
