Hi Yao, in the web.xml in the conf-path of your Tomcat you may have an entry like: <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file> <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list>
This is the order for pages that tomcat searches for, when starting the application. Just write a simple index.jsp that has a dispatcher forwarding to your servlet: <% RequestDispatcher requestDispatcher; requestDispatcher = application.getRequestDispatcher(<url-mapping>); requestDispatcher.forward(request, response); %> or an html with some Javascript inside: <script language="javascript"> document.location.href="<url-mapping>" </script> Greetings from Hamburg/Germany Seppo -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Yao Xu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 5.

I am hoping by adding '<load-on-startup/>' in following file for AxisServlet would load those services: $somedir/axis/tomcat/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/web.xml <web-app> <display-name>Apache-Axis</display-name> <servlet> <servlet-name>AxisServlet</servlet-name> <display-name>Apache-Axis Servlet</display-name> <servlet-class> org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet </servlet-class> <load-on-startup/> </servlet> However, after I restarted tomcat (with Axsis installed), there seems no effect. Please advise what would be an appropriate way to do this. Thanks Yao __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
