If you want to shorten the URL, consider creating an SICF External Alias:

However you usually don't go down to root like:

http://<companiesdomainname>:8000

You have at least one node under the root to identify the application:

http://<companiesdomainname>:8000/zwd_window

Hi vinoth,

You can also consider using a URL shortener. I created a project for this on Code Exchange. It allows you to make use of various URL shorteners (each with their own advantage) to shorten your URL. It goes a bit further then what you describe but it could be an alternative. You can download the project with ZSAPLINK. More information here: /people/rui.nogueira/blog/2010/11/20/featured-code-exchange-project-urlshortener

Hope this helps!

Cheers, Roel

What do you mean it didn't mask the URL? If you created an Alias you now have a new/shorter URL right? Are you wanting to change the hostname as well? What exactly didn't it do that you are still looking for?

Hi Vinoth,

This looks like URL mapping, I think you must investigate reverse proxy concept.
