Delete 'index.jsp' and place an 'index.htm' file in the ROOT directory containing your redirect. If you look in web.xml (in the Tomcat conf directory) you'll be able to configure the order of 'welcome' pages that Tomcat will serve if the user browses to the root of your web server.

I tried editing index.jspinside the ROOT folder, but I found out that this particular page is precompiled at build time and will not get recompiled if any changes are made. Is there a quick fix to put a redirect in the root application so that it sends you to a different page. For example http://myTomcatInstance:8080/ should redirect to http://www.google.com Is it possible to do this without creating another application and giving it the ROOT context? I am using Tomcat 5.5.15. Thanks in advance for your help.
