How to preserve nginx url from being redirected (302) from back end tomcat server?

[B.R.]

Your proxy_redirect rule does not match what is returned from your backend.
Remove the "https" prefix maybe?
Since you want to redirect to the current hostname, you could also use the
$host variable.
Then, since your server block is configured to only listen on SSL port, you
could also take advantage of the $scheme variable.

proxy_redirect //application.example.com/ $scheme://$host/;
