Redirect URL in WebSphere

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has configured URL redirection in WebSphere. What I would like to have happen is to be able to type the server name in the URL field, and have it default to the EOne login page instead of having to enter the entire url. So instead of having to type http://<servername>:<port>/jde/owhtml, I would like to be able just to enter http://<servername>

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

You can do that at the HTTP level
Open the index.html file on the HTTP Server root folder
and add the following line

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; url=http://yourserverort:/jde/owhtml">

5 means "wait for 5 seconds before redirecting"
You can also set it to 0 (redirect immediately)

There are a few different ways to do this. A long time ago, when brother_of_karamazov (Jeff Stevenson) worked for JDE, he wrote a paper called "Eliminating the Use of Port Numbers in WebSphere/HTTP." I don't remember when exactly this was published on the Knowledge Garden, but it was written for ERP 8 on WebSphere 4. You probably can't use this.

Since then, he's written another paper called "Simplified URL using DocumentRoot in EnterpriseOne." This was written in 2006 and is probably applicable to your version of WebSphere. It is available from his site at www.thestevensons.org.

Also, there is a My Oracle Support document that covers this task by using the REDIRECT command. That is Oracle Doc ID 1174166.1. There are analogous documents that cover OAS and WebLogic (at least I though I saw one for WebLogic).

I believe that the best and easiest way of doing this is using the Apache directive DocumentRoot. The papers are now here:
