9 Proxying Requests to Another HTTP Server

9-4 Administration Guide

If you set the <url-pattern> to “/”, then any request that cannot be resolved

by WebLogic Server is proxied to the remote server. However, you must also

specifically map the following extensions:

*.jsp, *.html, and *.html if you

want to proxy files ending with those extensions.

4. Deploy the Web Application on the WebLogic Server that redirects incoming

requests.
