Redirect to a default page when tomcat is running a certain servlet

[vanisathish]

Hi,

I need to restrict the access to my website, when i'm doing some
operation/(running some servlet) locally on my PC. Is there a way i can
set an application scope variable and retrict the access to the website
when that particular flag is true.

Appreciate your inputs

Not sure what you are trying to achieve by doing this, but in real
world web applications, this is normally achieved by having the server
point to a context/another server that presents downtime information
and alternatives/ETC while the app is down. I am no network expert, but
you might want to look into this option instead of coding your
application around a down/up variable.
