Re: servlet mapping and url
This trick isn't necessary in Tomcat 5.x and servlet spec 2.4. Welcome files as listed in the web.xml are each appended to the remote user's request and the result is processed until it resolves to a servlet or file. --David Geiglein, Gary wrote: If you create a file in the root of the context (any file, could be an empty file, it just needs to show up in a directory listing) then map your servlet to the same URL you would use to reference the file, then add the file to the welcome-file-list and it will work. Tomcat will not forward to a welcome file unless it shows up in the directory. But once you map the servlet to the same URL, the servlet will intercept the request. -Original Message- From: Frank W.

Re: servlet mapping and url
you can configure your web.xml file and make index.jsp file as an welcome file using, index.jsp now, create index.jsp file which will simply forward the request to your servlet!
