Re: Reverse proxy problem once again

Thanks Sebastian,

actually that is what I already did meanwhile :-) I thought I was
supposed to keep the contextpath (it's a project for my work), but now
they are fine with redirecting from / to /bla on the proxy, where bla
matches the contextpath on the tomcat, so now it works without any
other adjustment.
I also had a workaround, where I overrode RemoteServiceServlet and
modified the transmitted URL accordingly, that worked as well... But
I'm much more content with a configuration solution like keeping the
contextpath.
Anyway, thanks for your reply :-)

Greetings!
