Hello There,

I'm trying to access my spring MVC application using this URL - servername:portname/userportal/login.
But there is requirement to use older URL as  - servername:portname/"application Context name"/login.jsp. However, it seems that if i try to use this URL my application doesn't allow it.

Is there any way to configure this on WAS console so that when ever user enters URL as - servername:portname/userportal/login.jsp, it should change URL or redirect it to servername:portname/userportal/login.

Any solution/leads would be highly appreciated.

hi, this should be done at the web server level, not the WAS level.  If you want to do something at the WAS level then you will need a servlet/jsp called login.jsp that redirects to login.

If, for some reason, you do not want to do this in your reverse proxy as Brian suggested, you can also achieve the same thing via Servlets.
There's a tutorial for this right here: Servlet Redirect vs Forward | Baeldung

If you happen to have a lot of those redirects or need a broader syntax, you can also use the urlrewrite dependency (a servlet filter) which accepts Apache httpd / IHS (IBM httpd server) syntax.

Let us know if either of those solutions where helpful!
