That's odd. I do the inverse of that to remove www and have a naked
domain, but using mod_rewrite in httpd. The rewrite rule is otherwise
the same. I thought the syntax was the same. Maybe something inside
tomcat is forcing a / at the end of the domain for canonicalization,
and then the extra / is getting added by the rewrite valve rule?

Looking at a different server where I force the www, I have this instead :

RewriteRule ^/(.*)         https://www.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

You can try this instead. It won't be putting a / in there unless it
is already present in the uri passed (unlike the other version where a
/ will be appended even if the uri is blank)

HTH,

Chris
