Automatically redirecting all root home page requests

Question

How is it possible to automatically re-direct all pages requests for the sites root at http://www.mydomain.com/ to http://www.mydomain.com/myapp/ such that any subsequesnt requests for http://www.mydomain.com/myapp/otherpages.hmtl etc. are not affected?
Currently all requests to http://www.myhome.com/myapp/ all captured and passed through the reverse proxy plugin to a backend application server:
NameTrans fn="assign-name" from="/myapp(|/*)" name="passthrough"
<Object name="passthrough" 2=">">
ObjectType fn="force-type" type="magnus-internal/passthrough"
Service type="magnus-internal/passthrough" fn="service-passthrough" servers="http://192.168.1.1:80"
</Object>Any requests to the root directory are handled by a client-side HTML redirect to http://www.mydomain.com/myapp/ which is then picked up by the web servers reverse-proxy passthrough.
I would like to remove the client-side re-direct and have all root requests automatically rewitten as the subdirectory and then passed through the reverse proxy.

Okay, I have dug back through the forums and elving gave the solution back in April '05:
http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=52552&tstart=850I have added the following lines to the default object in obj.conf - this redirects requests for the root folder to a subfolder, myapp, and these are then reverse proxied to another server:
<Object name="default">
<Client uri="/">
NameTrans fn="redirect" from="/" url-prefix="/myapp"
</Client>
NameTrans fn="assign-name" from="/myapp(|/*)" name="passthrough"
</Object>
<Object name="passthrough" 2=">">
ObjectType fn="force-type" type="magnus-internal/passthrough"
Service type="magnus-internal/passthrough" fn="service-passthrough" servers="https://192.168.1.1:80"
</Object>This now re-directs without any cient scripting.... which is tidier.
