Rainer, thanks for the response... sorry, i should have mentioned that i am using apache 2 and mod_jk. apache 2 is taking care of all the images and static content. so currently http://www.mydomain.com/randy works cause there is an index.html in that users dir /home/users/r/randy/index.html. what i was trying to figure out was how to replace the index.html with index.jsp. I have modified the httpd.conf to recognize the index.jsp I hope that clarifies alittle more Thanks Randy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
