Hi. I posted this to the tomcat user group, with no joy. I am beginning to suspect this is a bug - is it "intended behaviour" that if jsp's are pre-compiled you cannot use them as a welcome page? Seems very strange to me if it is! Thanks, Dave ---------------------- Forwarded by David Hay/Lex/Lexmark on 08/24/2001 04:13 PM --------------------------- David Hay 08/21/2001 03:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: welcome file in web.xml with pre-compiled jsp's? Hi everyone, I am pre-compiling my jsp's in my struts web app, and everything works fine, except specifying the welcome file in the web.xml. If I do not pre-compile everything, having index.jsp as the first page works great. However, when I pre-compile index.jsp it doesn't work. Putting an uncompiled index.jsp back in the root directory makes it work again. I guess it is because jsp is not in root directory, but figure I should still be able to do this... Does anyone know if there is something special I have to do, or if there is anywhere else I can specify the first page as a servlet? btw, please copy me into any reply!
