Hi all,
perfect! thank you martin, I have just created a JSP file, index.jsp and
copied the content of index.html into it. and then made this modification as
you said:
hen configure ./WEB-INF/web.xml to load initial display
<welcome-file-listing>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</
>
> welcome-file>
> </welcome-file-listing>
and when i access http://localhost:8080/mms_test/index.jsp it works. but
again i can't access the index.html, because most of my pages by default
access index.html , do i need to change them all to index.jsp. Is there an
easy way around it??
Thank you again for your help
zia
