I cvs'ed a recent version but haven't had time to sit down and play with it yet. > In Craig and the teams defence: it's not the simplest thing in the > world to do and might not fit in with Tomcat's architecture that well. > Hmmm. Doesn't seem like it should be that hard. At first blush it seems like you could use bits of the request dispatcher code pretty much intact. The parts of Tomcat 4 that handle welcome files already have access to server innards, so that shouldn't be a problem. I'll have to take another look at it when I do welcome files for MinTC, and if I'm feeling ambitious (and brave) I'll see about back-porting to Tomcat 4 and submitting a patch. Or maybe it will turn out to be really hard, in which case I'll just quitely let the issue drop :-) By the way, anyone on this list who lives in North Texas won't want to miss the next Las Colinas TJ/DJ Java User Group meeting on Thursday 6:00pm April 25th: http://www.cluck.com 'cause I'm speaking at it.
