RE: how to make a servlet as the home page
Ok, if you're using apache, then the first thing apache does when it gets a request for a directory is look for the DirectoryIndex instruction. typically this will be set to index.html index.htm index.jsp etc. The way this works is that apache will first check index.html, then index.htm, then index.jsp and serve whichever comes first. the second part of the equation is the JkMount directives. Say you create a directive JkMount /MyHomePageServlet ajp13 then you can set DirectoryIndex MyHomePageServlet index.html index.htm index.jsp and afaik apache should route the request for / to tomcat, and tomcat will know how to serve /MyHomePageServlet. just a warning this is all theory, I haven't tested it, but I think the concepts are right. hth, cheesr dim - Original Message - From: naveen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 26, 2001 9:29 PM Subject: how to make a servlet as the home page hi , I am using tomcat and apache, I want to make a servlet as the home page of my web site, when i access http://www.mysite.com/, a servlet needs to be called and the most important thing in this is I need to access HTTP variables like Remote Host, etc. thanks in advance
Re: how to make a servlet as the home page
Why don't you just have the welcome page in the web.xml contain: jsp:forward page=/map* / and have /map* mapped in web.xml to a servlet? I don't understand why you think going to a servlet in a problem? -Original Message- From: Aravind Naidu [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sunday, August 26, 2001 7:52 PM Subject: RE: how to make a servlet as the home page Create an index.html with the following text HTML HEAD meta http-equiv=REFRESH CONTENT=0; URL=/servlet/com.acme.XYZServlet /HEAD /HTML Ensure that the servlet handles doGet(...) -- Aravind - Original Message - From: naveen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 26, 2001 9:29 PM Subject: how to make a servlet as the home page hi , I am using tomcat and apache, I want to make a servlet as the home page of my web site, when i access http://www.mysite.com/, a servlet needs to be called and　the most important thing in this is I need to access HTTP variables like Remote Host, etc. thanks in advance
