I believe that the welcome file list is just a list of filenames to look for in any directory if the user makes a request for a directory name without a filename. So, they should not start with leading slashes. Some containers are more tolerant of this than others, but it seems clear to me now that the welcome file entries should not have slashes in their names.
To get the behavior you want, you probably want to change your welcome file to just "index.jsp" (no slashes) and then make an index.jsp file that redirects to your login page and put it in the root directory of your app. web.xml: <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> index.jsp: <% response.sendRedirect(request.getContextPath() + "/jsp/Login.jsp"); %> -Max ----- Original Message ----- From: "Micael" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2003 8:18 AM Subject: Re: WARNING: invalid welcome file > The leading / tells the app that this file is in the root app, and > apparently it is not. > > At 07:11 PM 7/16/03 +0530, you wrote: > >Hi, > > > >This may be slightly out of topic..but I need some suggestions in this > >regard.
