I use Spring MVC + Apache tomcat + Apache httpd and I am seeking for best practices in order to redirect all http requests to a page indicating to my users that the website is in maintenance. FYI, my website will be hosted on Cloudfoundry.

I think a good solution is to use a simple .htaccess to redirect the requests.

Thanks Aurelio. Do I have to restart httpd in order for changes to it to be picked up? – balteo Sep 11 '12 at 13:17
@balteo Usually this depends on your Apache configuration. If you aren't sure of your config, just restart ;) – Aurelio De Rosa Sep 11 '12 at 13:28
