I have a web app that runs perfectly under Tomcat4, but behaves a
little strange under Tomcat5. Originally welcome page was defined as
follows in web.xml:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>myStartPage.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
Works as it supposed to in Tomcat4, the URL in address bar shows
"<mycontext>/myStartPage.jsp" Same application in Tomcat5 shows
portion of the page, and the address bar shows the following:
"<mycontext>/?" That is, page name is not there, and URL is appended
with question mark.
The content of myStartPage.jsp is evaluated partially, I have not got
yet how exactly, but there is init sequence that is kicked off from
this page. It works in Tomcat4, but does not work in Tomcat5.
I made a strainhtforward change to web.xml.
web.xml:
--------
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
index.jsp:
----------
<% response.sendRedirect("myStartPage.jsp"); %>
The above works on Tomcat5.
Is this a known issue or should I do more testing and file a bug?
Thanks,
Michael.
