Thank you Christopher I'll take a look at the link. More than I need
now, but maybe there will be other uses too...
(I'm just running Tomcat standalone, no httpd in front)

Not built-in, but definitely exists:

If you are using Apache httpd to front your Tomcat, you can probably
use
either mod_rewrite (upon which the above urlrewrite was based) or the
simpler RedirecrPermanent directives to achieve the same goal. I
believe
Apache httpd configuration might be a bit simpler, but don't add
Apache
httpd to your configuration just for this -- it would be a huge
waste of
effort and added complexity.
