What you have setup should work except that if the welcome-file is not an actual file, then the server will issue a 404. The work around is to have a dummy index.html file inside "foo" folder (for your setup, it's foo/index.html) so that the server is happy and it tries to serve foo/index.html but the request is instead served by the ActionServlet (/foo/*) and your /index.jsp will be shown. Note that the welcome-file should not start or end with a "/". Making your welcome-file to foo/index.html and have a dummy index.html inside foo folder should work > Thanks, > Erik > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
