How to redirect or move a context
You can use the MovedContextHandler to relocate or redirect a context that has changed context path and/or virtual hosts.
You can configure it to permanently redirect the old url to the new url, in which case Jetty sends a Http Status code of 301 to the browser with the new url. Alternatively, you can make it non-permanent, in which case Jetty sends a 302 Http Status code along with the new url.
In addition, as with any other context, you can configure a list of virtual hosts, meaning that this context responds only to requests to one of the listed host names.
Suppose we have a context deployed at /foo, but that now we want to deploy at the root context / instead. First we reconfigure and redeploy our context on Jetty. Next we need a way to redirect all the browsers who have bookmarked /foo to the new path. We create a new context xml file in $JETTY_HOME/contexts and configure the MovedContextHandler to do the redirection from /foo to /.
Here's an example. We've chosen to do a permanent redirection, while also preserving pathinfo and query strings on the redirect:
