RE: Setting a Welcome File + Tiles + PreCompiled JSP's
Use the HTML META ... tag?
HTML
HEAD
META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT=0;URL=/myapp/do/myaction
/HEAD
BODY/BODY
/HTML
Or, alternatively if you want to use window.onLoad - checkout the source on
IE's error page that does this pretty effectively by extracting the server
information from document.location.href - full source attached below (you'll
need to identify the appropriate bits):
!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN
html
head
style
a:link {font:8pt/11pt verdana; color:red}
a:visited {font:8pt/11pt verdana; color:#4e4e4e}
/style
meta HTTP-EQUIV=Content-Type Content=text-html; charset=Windows-1252
titleHTTP 404 Not Found/title
/head
script
function Homepage(){
// in real bits, urls get returned to our script like this:
// res://shdocvw.dll/http_404.htm#http://www.DocURL.com/bar.htm
//For testing use DocURL =
res://shdocvw.dll/http_404.htm#https://www.microsoft.com/bar.htm;
DocURL = document.location.href;
//this is where the http or https will be, as found by searching for ://
but skipping the res://
protocolIndex=DocURL.indexOf(://,4);
//this finds the ending slash for the domain server
serverIndex=DocURL.indexOf(/,protocolIndex + 3);
//for the href, we need a valid URL to the domain. We search for the #
symbol to find the begining
//of the true URL, and add 1 to skip it - this is the BeginURL value. We
use serverIndex as the end marker.
//urlresult=DocURL.substring(protocolIndex - 4,serverIndex);
BeginURL=DocURL.indexOf(#,1) + 1;
if (protocolIndex - BeginURL 7)
urlresult=
urlresult=DocURL.substring(BeginURL,serverIndex);
//for display, we need to skip after http://, and go to the next slash
displayresult=DocURL.substring(protocolIndex + 3 ,serverIndex);
// Security precaution: must filter out urlResult and displayresult
forbiddenChars = new RegExp([\'\], g); // Global search/replace
urlresult = urlresult.replace(forbiddenChars, );
displayresult = displayresult.replace(forbiddenChars, );
document.write('A target=_top HREF=' + urlresult + '' + displayresult +
/a);

Subject: Setting a Welcome File + Tiles + PreCompiled JSP's
I'm using tiles and i know i can't set the welcomefile/ attribute in
web.xml to a tile definition or a struts action url. I'm also
precompiling
all my JSP's so i can't assign it to a JSP... i was thinking
about assign it
to a html file and then onLoad i could redirect to my logon
action url... to
do this i'd have to hard code the ipaddress and port number into
my url so i
don't really want to do that. Any ideas how i might do this?

Re: Setting a Welcome File + Tiles + PreCompiled JSP's
I use a filter to catch requests that map to / and request my Homepage.do action instead. So I don't have any index.html or index.jsp page at all. I think the 2.3 spec wants some sort of file to map to. I did hear of one person who set the welcome-file to 'index.do' and put a dummy index.do file in there (with a note that it was a dummy and not to delete). The web container was happy because there was a file there called 'index.do'. Since Struts is mapped to process *.do, the person defined an action called 'index' and struts could do its normal processing, forwarding off to the .jsp in /WEB-INF/. I don't know if that is portable amongst containers though. Pat Quinn wrote: I'm using tiles and i know i can't set the welcomefile/ attribute in web.xml to a tile definition or a struts action url.

Re: Setting a Welcome File + Tiles + PreCompiled JSP's
I just have an index.jsp that I still include in the war, even though all my JSPs are pre-compiled. I'm not actually sure if the file version or the pre-compiled version gets called. Doesn't really matter I guess.And I use a META refresh to redirect to my main page: meta http-equiv=Refresh content=0;url=html:rewrite page=/main.do / K.C.

RE: Setting a Welcome File + Tiles + PreCompiled JSP's
I remember reading something when we first started building our STRUTS application that said that you had to have a physical file outside the WEB-INF directory representing your welcomefile. All of our JSPs reside in a subdirectory under WEB-INF, so we put a blank file named index.do in the root directory and it works like a charm (no redirects needed).
