Re: .do as welcome-file

[Ed Robbins]

I like to do it with a filter.  I can accomplish several things with it, 
tighter security, I prevent someone from calling any of my jsp's 
directly and I can then have the welcome page be an action.

I guess it's all the same as long as it works.  You solution might be
simpler actually no web.xml configs for the servlet

I usually just put s/th like this in my index.jsp

<jsp:forward page="/main.do" />

and that's it. Whats the possible advantage
of using a redirect or other solutions that
also require a physical file in the root dir?

Here's a trick to get an action to execute as home page in your webapp 
without having to do the jsp redirect.

Put a file called webapp.launch in the root directory of your webapp

Then configure these settings in your web.xml

<servlet>
   <servlet-name>redirector</servlet-name>
   <servlet-class>yourpackage.Redirector</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>redirector</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>*.launch</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
package yourpackage;

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
/**
*  Redirector to start application on browse to root url
*
*/
public class Redirector extends HttpServlet {
   /**
    *  Stub method
    */
   public void destroy() {
   }
   /**
    *  Forward the user to start page of webapp
    *
    [EMAIL PROTECTED]  request
    [EMAIL PROTECTED]  response
    [EMAIL PROTECTED]  ServletException
    [EMAIL PROTECTED]  IOException
    */
   public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
     throws ServletException, IOException {
       response.sendRedirect("home.do");
   }

   /**
    *  Description of the Method
    */
   public void init() throws ServletException {
   }
}

I can confirm that this hack works for tomcat. Create the dummy file 
start/start.do and tomcat will be happy, and you will still get the 
actual struts mapping.

I haven't tried it, but I've been told that, in tomcat, if you 
create a
     

file
   

with that exact name it will work properly.  Evidently you cannot
     

specify
 

a
   

servlet path as a welcome file.

Does anyone has figured out how to do this?

<welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>/start/start.do</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
I am not able to make it work.

TIA,

Adolfo.
