My web-app is set with a welcome-file-list, index.xml is the first welcome-file entry.
Tomcat [4.0b2] does a HTTP 302 (temporary redirect) to the welcome-file for requests that do not specify a file. This is contrary to the behavior of almost every web server, ever. E.g. Apache et al will just send the welcome file. At the least, Tomcat's behavior is annoying because the client gets rewritten URL, at the most it's bad form since if the welcome-file changes in the future, links & bookmarks would break. So, is it possible to change this behavior [without an additional front-end server or proxy]? Yes, I realize the 2.3 servlet spec says " will be returned as [rewritten url]." -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
