Thanks for the reply. Tomcat version is 6.0.14. The trouble is that the home page is not static. I'd access the page through www.mydomain.com/app/home, but there is a mapping in my spring-servlet.xml (i'm using spring) which maps this to the controller. The corresponding jsp and java classes all sit within WEB-INF. Setting the welcome page seems to work for static welcome pages only... is this true, or am I doing something wrong?
