Anyone know a solution when using Tomcat Standalone I do not want this effect as I am affraid it will have negative effects on my search engine placement. SEs often penalize URLs that redirect ... and since this is my primary domain this is a MAJOR issue. I was given the advice previously to use a RewriteRule to fix this problem, but have since been told this is functionality limited to Apache, and not available to Tomcat. Thanks.
