Re: how setup landing page in tomcat

[Alexander Panzhin]

Just remove everyting between
<!-- JSPC servlet mappings start -->
and
<!-- JSPC servlet mappings end -->

and change your index.jsp so that i would include either a response.sendRedirect() or meta-refresh(or more exotic javascript's location)

I don't think meta-refresh is applicable here.

Seems that when Tomcat gets the basic url,  http://thissite.com,  it looks for 
web.xml in webapps/root/web-inf.  The content of this XML file is:

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee";
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee 
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd";
    version="2.4">
  <display-name>Welcome to Tomcat</display-name>
  <description>
     Welcome to Tomcat
  </description>
<!-- JSPC servlet mappings start -->
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>org.apache.jsp.index_jsp</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.apache.jsp.index_jsp</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>org.apache.jsp.index_jsp</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/index.jsp</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
<!-- JSPC servlet mappings end -->


My hunch is I should be changing the content of this web.xml file to point to 
the webapp that I want to be the default...

Hi
I am new to Tomcat 5 config. I have a webapp running on tomcat, and to
get to it you have to type http://this.com/dir1/dir2/dir3/file.html, and
I want to change the settings so that when you type http://this.com,
you get to the right subdirectory. I know how to do this in IIS, but have
not figured out how on Tomcat, and I've definitely looked.
Let me know if you how. thanks.
