This is a link to a PDF with a good discussion of doing the things you talk about from your web.xml.
http://java.sun.com/developer/Books/javaserverpages/servlets_javaserver/servlets_javaserver05.pdf >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/31/03 11:56AM >>> I'm developing an application that uses servlets and JSP. Currently, it is using a Model View Controller type setup where everything is going through a single servlet (I'm not using Struts) which forwards to JSPs that are located in WEB-INF. The path to my application is, https://myserver/myapp/servlet/controller But, I have an index.jsp which uses the JSTL <c:redirect> tag to redirect so that you can access the application using, https://myserver/myapp 1. Is using an index.jsp with a redirect is something that is commonly done to simplify the URL? Or, is there a better way? 2. If you do use a redirect, what's the easiest way to do this so that if a query string is provided, it is preserved? 2. Is it still recommended to use "/servlet/" as part of the path for servlets? Or, do most people not do this anymore? BTW, I'm using a <c:redirect> and not a <c:forward> because the application is password protected and I wasn't sure how to protect it if I did a forward.
