RE: Re[2]: Welcome file and struts

[Andrew Hill]

My application isnt using any JSP's and I need to go through an action
before I can get to any views - even the login page. (Id prefer a dummy file
to a meta refresh index.html page as I feel it would load a wee bit
quicker).

Feels a bit weird having part of your deployment depend on a dummy file
though.  I went for the index.jsp idea myself.

Ooo.
The idea from Dennis Muhlestein seems better than my tactic.
What a neat idea. Think I might switch to doing it this way.

To quote his posting: "Anyway, I added index.do to the list of files for
apache to
automatically pull up and then just made a dummy file called index.do
tomcat gets the request and it works just fine."

p.s. I found another solution which involved a META-Refresh, but I think the

RE: Welcome file and struts

Oops. Sorry guess I missed the original post!
Yeh. I couldnt get this one to work either. Darn nuisance.

I ended up creating a very simple .html file that used a meta refresh to
redirect to the required action thusly:

Welcome file and struts

[Michael Delamere]

Hi folks!

I have got a question concerning the welcome file in the web.xml.  I have
tried the following:

  
/index.do
  

Could it be that tomcat has problems with this because the file doesn´t
physically exist?  The reason for assuming this is that index.vm (velocity
template) seems to work!?

Could someone please give me some guidelines on how to get tomcat to load my
index.do on startup.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael

RE: Welcome file, servlet mapping in web.xml file

It looks like you are confusing pathmapping with welcome file list

Try this instead:
http://localhost:8080/EGPS/banking/login.jsp

I removed "/action" because that's what you need to call an action, which
will forward to your jsp.

Good luck.

Re: tile definition as welcome file?

[Cedric Dumoulin]

  The welcome file should denote a valid URL. So I think you can put any struts action 
URL forwarding to a tile definition. Also, you can put a jsp page URL inserting the 
definition.
  What you can't do is to put a definition name as welcome file ;-) .

 Hope this help,

Cedric

RE: Action as Welcome File

[James Mitchell]

I have solved this with index.jsp doing a forward to /index.do

I have a modified version of the Struts-example that shows this (and a few
other changes).

Create a index.jsp and place a  tag to

We use apache in from of tomcat.  Because there is no index.do, we would
get a directory listing (if that was turned on but it isn't because
well...).

Anyway, I added index.do to the list of files for apache to
automatically pull up and then just made a dummy file called index.do

tomcat gets the request and it works just fine.

RE: Action as Welcome File

[Kevin . Bedell]

Another approach is to use the "refresh" META tag. This is supported by most browsers.

Specifically:

 
  index.html
 

Then, in index.html:

  
  
  Redirect to our home page
 Please click here to if 
you are not automatically redirected to our home page
  
  
  Please click here if you are not 
automatically redirected to our home page
  
  

For most all browsers this should automatically redirect them to the home page.

Good luck,

Kevin

Welcome page

[Bhaskar Gopalan]

Hi,

I guess both VA4.0 and Appserver use the webapp file to determine the
welcome page, etc. It works in
VA but not in Appserver. When I give the complete path to the jsp file in
the browser, it opens the page.

Any clues?

Thnx,

Re: struts and tomcat - Welcome list

[Ted Husted]

For the welcome page, the containers look for a physical file rather
than going through the usual servlet mappings. The best solution is to
define a welcome ActionForward and use that for the welcome page. 

<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-logic" prefix="logic" %>


You can then use a global forward to send them to index.do, or whatever.

Your problem is due to a common misconception of how the welcome file list
works.  The welcome file list in the web.xml file defines the default
file(s) for all directories, including the root and all subdirectories.  It
does not specify the URL of a default page for the web application.  If you
request http://myserver/myapp/, the application looks for
http://myserver/myapp/index.jsp.  If you request
http://myserver/myapp/mydirectory/, the application looks for
http://myserver/myapp/mydirectory/index.jsp.

The only work-around for your situation is to perform a forward from
/index.jsp to /WEB-INF/JSP/index.jsp.

I hope this helps.

Nope.  The servlet container will look for an actual file at that path.

You need to have a index.html/jsp that forwards to your login page.  For
example, an index.jsp that had:

<%@ page contentType="text/html" %>

Using an Action as a welcome doesn't work, but you can use an index.jsp

You can do the same thing by just having a index.jsp page that just

Re: welcome file in web.xml with pre-compiled jsp's? - tomcat bug!!

Just for your information - turns out this is a bug in Tomcat!

I submitted it (Bug No 3309) and they propose to fix it, maybe by 3.3.1.  At the
moment, work around is to stick an uncompiled version in directory, or to use
javascript to perform a forward in a regular html page to your pre-compiled jsp.

Cheers,

Re: welcome file in web.xml with pre-compiled jsp's?

[Ted Husted]

In any event, it's not a bug in Struts, so you might want to take it up
with the support group for your container.

True. I've not done pre-compiled jsps before, but I would imagine you
could just not precompile this one file? If not, then forget what I just
said.

An ever-so-slightly-less-clumsy way to do this it to have an index.jsp
that looks like this:



This at least avoids the javascript and browser redirection.

Hi Bill,

I just want to have what works with uncompiled jsp's work with compiled jsps!

My welcome page is called index.jsp, but when I compile it and put it in a jar
file, it is not found for the first page (though I can call it directly).  Is
this some kind of bug?

Cheers,

Dave

PS  I can work around it with a index.htm as a welcome page that redirects you
with javascript to index.jsp, but that's very clumsy!

Hello,
I don't know if I understand your question completely, but are you
saying that having a servlet (or the ActionServlet) as a welcome page
would solve your problem? Or must it be a .jsp?
I am using the ActionServlet to forward to my welcome page.  I have
index.do listed as my welcome file.  To get this to work, I had to put a
blank file called index.do in my WEB-INF directory.  This seems to work
fine in both resin and orion.

welcome file in web.xml with pre-compiled jsp's?

[dhay]

Hi everyone,

I am pre-compiling my jsp's in my struts web app, and everything works fine,
except specifying the welcome file in the web.xml.

If I do not pre-compile everything, having index.jsp as the first page works
great.  However, when I pre-compile index.jsp it doesn't work.  Putting an
uncompiled index.jsp back in the root directory makes it work again.  I guess it
is because I am now calling a servlet instead of page, but not sure how to get
around this.

Does anyone know if there is something special I have to do, or if there is
anywhere else I can specify the first page as a servlet?

Thanks,

Dave

action as the welcome page

[Gogineni, Pratima]

Hi,

I have seen some messages in the news groups which seem to indicate that it
may be possible to set an action as the welcome page, though a couple of
people were having problems with it.

I tried doing this - set my welcome page to login.do (also tried /login.do).
After authentication I get a 404 error that says ADM/login.do not found (ADM
is my context).

The /login action has been defined in struts-config.xml and I can forward to
it through a jsp page.

Im trying to find out if anyone else has been able to do this, if it is
possible to do this at all, if I am doing something wrong ...

Thanks
Pratima

Larry,

Presumably you call your action Question from somewhere, execute it, and
when
it's done, you forward to question.jsp, not to the Question action again!
Hence
the action has already executed, and you want to go to the jsp page.

With the others, I guess you want to perform the action and then display the
jsp, so the forward here should be another action, and the forward for the
ReviewInstructions action is then a jsp page.

Cheers,

Dave

RE: Welcome Page Action

[Tim Colson]

Ted suggested this solution to solve having a  welcome page redirect to a
struts action.

I tried it but encountered an issue because my default action requires
tomcat-based authentication.

Ex. path="/protected/mainmenu.do"

The redirect to this action works for http://host:8080/myapp/ ->
mainmenu.do, however, the user is not prompted for authentication.
Presumably because authentication (handled in web.xml for all /protected/*
URI's) happens prior to the struts logic:forward activity.

mainmenu.do freaks out a bit, because it expects to only be seen by an
authenticated user.

Suggestions on how one might fix that?

Thanks,
Timothy

[Siggelkow, Bill]

Maybe you could use a jsp:include to include the response from the
announcements.do ...

You could also use "announcements" instead of "welcome", but I tend to

Welcome Page Action

[Calvin Lau]

I'm trying to figure out the best way of making my
welcome page (index.jsp) run an action that will show
my annoucements.  I have an AnnouncementsForm that I
use with announcements.do elsewhere, but I'm not sure
how I should make the index.jsp page run this same
action.  Is there any way to map an action to this
page without making all other .jsp pages go through
the Action servlet?

The makeshift solution I have now is to change the
name of my jsp file to index.do and to make that my
welcome page.  This hardly seems like a good solution
though and I would think this problem has come up
often enough where there's something better.  I
imagine many welcome pages have dynamic content that
requires an action to be run.  

Any ideas would be very appreciated.  Thanks,

Calvin
