http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9016 welcome-files don't map to servlet without disk file Summary: welcome-files don't map to servlet without disk file Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0.3 Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In order to have a webapp load a particular servlet as the default, I am using a <welcome-file> directive, and then a <servlet-mapping> to direct that to the appropriate servlet. However, this only works if there is a physical file in the directory with the name of the welcome file. Rather strange behaviour as the file is not actually used. The following is used to make the request go to our servlet, but all requests for images, etc, go to the tomcat default servlet. In the WEB.XML: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>servlet1</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/index.html</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> My configuration: Tomcat 4.03 Final JDK 1.4.0 Windows 2000 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
