Redirect front page with 301 using Prettyfaces

Question

I use jsf 2.2 & prettyfaces-jsf 2-3.3.3 and have /pages/index.xhtml page.

I try redirect from front page to another like this:

<rewrite match="/" url="http://somesite.net" redirect="301" />

Of course, all the pages are redirected. What is the right way redirect only front page?

Answer 1

The match attribute is a regular expression. So you should try something like this instead:

<rewrite match="^/$" url="http://somesite.net" redirect="301" />
