Hello,
I have a small problem and was wondering if anyone else has come across
it.
In Tomcat 5.5 (and possibly other versions), tomcat will check for the
existence of a file and if it doesn't exist send out a 404 before it can
be handled by struts when it comes to welcome-files...
For instance, if I have the following in my web.xml:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.action</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
And someone visits a page by hitting the directory (i.e.
http://localhost/context-name/) and a valid mapping exists (maybe taking
them to index.jsp), tomcat will deliver a 404 error. However, if I make
a blank file called 'index.action,' Tomcat will appropriately handle the
request by passing it to struts.
Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a better solution than making
a blank file called index.action?
I tried making an index.html file, but I am also learning sitemesh and I
am having a heckuva time figuring out how to get sitemesh not to
decorate the index.html file.
