RE: How to specify a servlet as a main page
You have to put additional line as : 10 into paragraph: boot com.testing.es.start.Boot 10 Hope this help -Original Message- From: Ismael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2001 9:26 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: How to specify a servlet as a main page Hi all, Until now I have been using a boot.jsp page as the main entry point to my application. But now I have changed it to a servlet. On the web.xml I have made a servlet mapping, boot com.testing.es.start.Boot boot /start the if I write http://localhost/context/start it goes to this servlet. I would like that whenever the user writes http://localhost/context it is redirected to the boot servlet. I have tried it by putting a servlet mapping only with / but it does not work. I have tried also with the welcome-file-list boot and it does not work. How should I do it? Thanks

Title: SV: How to specify a servlet as a main page
The
simple solution is to write a simple JSP page and have it forward to your
servlet.

As far as I know, it is simply not possible to have
{file-spec} {file-spec} be
something other than a HTML or JSP page. The reason for this I've heard is
that some people just do not want this functionality. Don't ask me
why.

Re: How to specify a servlet as a main page
I think you need to map your servlet to the url "/", and handle from there. tim. > Hi all, > > Until now I have been using a boot.jsp page as the main entry point to my > application.

RE: How to specify a servlet as a main page
I think to do this you would need to have an index.jsp and configured web.xml's "Welcome.." entry to recognise it. Then simply forward or redirect within index.jsp. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Johnson, > Robert > Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2001 9:11 AM > To: Orion-Interest > Subject: RE: How to specify a servlet as a main page > > > You might try putting a jsp page called default.jsp in the root of you web > application.

RE: How to specify a servlet as a main page
You might try putting a jsp page called default.jsp in the root of you web application. Just put the following lines in the default.jsp. -Original Message- From: Ismael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2001 9:26 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: How to specify a servlet as a main page Hi all, Until now I have been using a boot.jsp page as the main entry point to my application.
