Re: use index.class instead of index.html?
Thanks, for you help but I couldn't seem to get
that to work. In case anybody is wondering I managed to accomplish this my
putting somthing in my web apps web.xml
servlet-mappingservlet-nameHelloWorld
/servlet-nameurl-pattern*.html/url-pattern/servlet-mapping
This intercepts the index.html file. I don't
think I will need to have any static files in my app but if I did I could use
.htm on them.
I'm just an amature at this so I probably shouldn't
be giving out advice. If anyone knows a better way(or the "proper" way)
please don't hesitate to let me know.
Thanks,
Kevin

Subject: RE: use index.class instead of

I'm
a bit confused myself now, but I'll try to explain what I think the Tomcat's
logic is.
In
Server.xml you must've defined your Home directory, and a number of
contexts.
Tomcat processes all specified contexts and adds them to its
list.
Tomcat looks under your home directory, and add all
subdirectories and all files to the "automatic context load" list. If you
start tomcat from the console window, you'll see it reports about it. First go
the contexts you've specified explicitely, and then "automatic" contexts -
whatever Tomcat found in your home folder.
When
you type http://localhost:8080, Tomcat
searches all automatic(!) contexts. It looks for any of the files defined in
the welcome-file-list.
Whichever the first, the file is returned to the
browser.
Consequently, if you want to define your .class to be executed by
default, you must modify the welcome-file-list, and make sure that the
.class can be found in one of the "automatic" contexts.
I
guess you need to make sure that yourWeb-infbecomes one of the
automatic contexts, by placing it under your home.
Hope
it helps. Would like you to let me know if I was right in my
assumptions.

I've looked at the welcome file list element
and it seems to work for jsp's and html files but not servlets. I
thought servlets had to go in the /web-inf/classes directory? I tried
it anyways and put the class file in root and made the adjustment in the
/conf/web.xml it didn't seem to work.
Thanks,

RE: use index.class instead of index.html?
Here's how I solved this... I found that the welcome file list seems to require an actual file not a mapping to a servlet (at least that appeared to be the behavior). So I created a welcome.jsp and put it in the welcome file list in web.xml. Then in the welcome.jsp I used the jsp:forward tag to forward control to my desired servlet. Snippets below... from welcome.jsp... html body bgcolor=white !-- Forward to a servlet -- jsp:forward page=/index / /body /html from web.xml... welcome-file-list welcome-filewelcome.jsp/welcome-file /welcome-file-list -Original Message- From: Kevin Fonner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2001 11:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: use index.class instead of index.html?
