Hi Richard,

as I said we use Tomcat standalone or behind an apache. You can do it
cleanly with an index.jsp in which you redirect to your application.

Kind regards

Betreff: RE: define Index.vm as a welcome file

Thank you guys for your help!

template.homepage won't do the trick here, because it only gives you the
default template if turbine's module resolver can't find a template
AFTER index.vm has been visited (I have previously set it to index.vm
anyway)

I am using tomcat as standalone, so apache won't help me here (I use
iptables to map port 80 to 8080, so users can just use my domain to
invoke my app)

I just tried out a way to make it work
- index.html is still as the welcome page on web.xml
- make a servlet, all it does is:
        response.setRedirect(myAppContext/index.vm)
  
- in web.xml
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>redirect</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/index.html</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
  The redirect is the new servlet name, this will redirect the static
index.html to the turbine's dynamic index.vm, and user won't be able to
see the index.html anymore.

comments are welcome!

richard
