Welcome file list
Hi, this is probably a basic question but I could really use a hand. Is there a way to simply read/display www.mydomain.com without redirecting to index.jsp? I found out how to do the opposite in web.xml welcome-file-list welcome-fileindex.jsp/welcome-file welcome-fileindex.html/welcome-file welcome-fileindex.htm/welcome-file /welcome-file-list TIA Steve
welcome-file-list
Hello, I have a web site that I want accessed using the dns name: eg: http://www.purcell.com I have a welcome-file entry which says go to index.jsp. Of course the page loads and the url looks like this: http://www.purcell.com/index.jsp Is there anyway to remove the index.jsp, but display that page. Occasionally I see that when I am surfing and wonder how this is accomplished? Does anyone know how to configure this to show a clean url in browser. (aside from JS). Thanks, Scott
Re: welcome-file-list
If I have correctelly understand the problem, to solve it u just have to add in your web.xml a few lines like this: welcome-file-list welcome-file/index.jsp/welcome-file /welcome-file-list where u can change /index.jsp with any other page that you like to display as your start page.

Re: Problem in Welcome-file-list and security
My very first page is the login screen. If i have specified security constraints, then how can i show the login screen as the first screen. The request should actually go to a secured screen, and this will bring up the login screen. Thats the reason, i require the first page to be secured.

Re: Problem in Welcome-file-list and security
Found out the problem. Changing the welcome-file from */jsp/test.jsp* to *jsp/test.jsp *solves the issue. The additional / causes some changes in the url pattern and as a result the request was not considered to be secured one. Thanks for your effort. -Shan- Tim Funk wrote: Make your welcome file index.jsp. Then for that specific URL (/) - have it redirect to jsp/test.jsp. That way the external redirect forces the security constraint to be caught. For example: index.jsp: %@ taglib uri=http://java.sun.com/jstl/core; prefix=c% c:redirect url=jsp/test.jsp/ -Tim shanmugampl wrote: My very first page is the login screen.

Struts in welcome-file-list
Hi all, I tried to get a page from my Struts application as default page in the welcome file list (see below) but it doesn't work, it keeps going to index.html. Am I doing something wrong or is it simply not possible?

As part of the servlet 2.2/2.3 spec, you are not allowed to use a servlet/action as a welcome-file - only .html or .jsp (I think). This is changing in the servlet 2.4 spec.

RE: welcome-file-list
Hi, Searching the archives would've yielded many answers to this question. Not directly. You can have a JSP, which is compiled into a servlet. Or you can have a JSP or plain HTML page which redirect to a servlet. The next servlet specification, v2.4, which is getting very close to final, will allow you to specify a servlet directly as the welcome file for your webapp. Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics -Original Message- From: Anderson, M.

RE: welcome-file-list
That is some good information which I wish I knew before I started the site!
What do you think the learning curve is on using filters and would it be
worth the effort (dicounting the time/cost factor) to reorganize my design
using proper filters? What would be the major benefits of making this
change?
One last newby (and possibly very stupid) question...when you write
filter-classcom.mycompany.MyAuthenticationFilter/filter-class the
com.mycompany is simply indicating the package that MyAuthenticationFilter
is in, right, or am I completely missing what that indicates. Sorry for the
very basic questions but I sincerely appreciate your help!!

RE: welcome-file-list
Howdy, What do you think the learning curve is on using filters and would it be The learning curve for these types of filters (authenticators, loggers) is short and not steep. This is a good place to start: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-06-2001/jw-0622-filters.html worth the effort (dicounting the time/cost factor) to reorganize my design using proper filters? What would be the major benefits of making this change? The major benefits would be: - Decoupling of authentication and logging from the business code, and from each other. This really opens up a lot of architecture possibilities when you need to scale up / increase uptime/reliability (e.g. via clustering) etc. - The ability to selectively authenticate certain requests and not others in a clean way. The business code is untouched. - The ability to selectively log different things about different requests in a clean way. - The ability to monitor one set of things for requests, and one different set of things (e.g. content-length) about responses. - You would still be container-independent. - You will have learned about filters and have a clean, easy to understand, easy to maintain design. One last newby (and possibly very stupid) question...when you write filter-classcom.mycompany.MyAuthenticationFilter/filter-class the com.mycompany is simply indicating the package that MyAuthenticationFilter is in, right, or am I completely missing what that indicates. Sorry for It's simply the fully-qualified class name of the servlet class. Your understanding is correct.

RE: welcome-file-list
Thanks Yoav...I have some other modifications that were just giving to me for the site and I think I may try to implement the architecture you suggested at the same time. I will check out some tutorials and see what I can come up with. Your help is much appreciated! Any thoughts on how to implement a discussion thread? I need to allow users to enter a comment and then allow other users to follow up on that comment creating a comment thread... just like this user list does. -Original Message- From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 12:00 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: welcome-file-list Howdy, What do you think the learning curve is on using filters and would it be The learning curve for these types of filters (authenticators, loggers) is short and not steep.

RE: tomcat 4 apache mod_webapp welcome-file-list
Did anyone ever come up with an answer for this? I've searched exhaustively about this with no luck. Maybe I'm just missing something, but... I am experiencing the same thing with Tomcat 4.0.2-LE / JVM 1.4.0 / Apache 1.3.23. This is REALLY annoying, but if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'd love to know.

[TC321] welcome-file-list behaviour
Hi All,
Hope all is well!
I've noticed in the TC321 source base that the 'welcome file' specified
in the web.xml actually checks to see if this file exists before using
it.
See StaticInterceptor.java, lines 270, and 297
270:
File f = new File(dir, fileName);
if (f.exists()) {
return fileName;
}
297:
if ((new File(retPath)).exists())
{
int pathPos = retPath.lastIndexOf (fbasen);
return retPath.substring (pathPos);
}
(perhaps I'm looking at the wrong methods though ?)
This potentially causes headaches for Cocoon 2 users, as in Cocoon 2
it's possible to specify a URL which does not actually relate to a
real file.
eg: in a Cocoon 2 sitemap
!-- start page --
map:match pattern=start.xml
map:generate type=serverpages src=client/frontend/start.xml/
map:transform src=stylesheets/html/start.xsl/
map:serialize/
/map:match
(There are more complex examples, where the data may not even be
located on the same system as tomcat itself)
Having TC321 check for the existance of the file causes headaches
because if a Cocoon 2 user does something like the above, they can't
use that URL as the welcome file.
Note, for pure Cocoon 2 applications this is however, not a problem
as Cocoon 2 can handle the start page itself with an internal redirect.
!-- start page --
map:match pattern=
map:redirect-to uri=start.xml/
/map:match
However for hybrid environments where not all requests go through
Cocoon 2 the above statement mightn't work - it depends on the
particular servlet-mapping settings.
Must Tomcat make this check for existance of the file ? Would it be
ok if a suitable warning message is logged, but the welcome
filename is still used ?
Cheers,
Marcus

welcome-file-list Tomcat 3.21 / RH7 Linux
I switched from Tomcat 3.14 to 3.21 to resolve a header issue where I was
getting a "text/plain" header in a Servlet when
res.setContentType("text/html");
Now, Tomcat 3.21 won't load a default page when the welcome-file-list
includes index.html, index.htm, and index.jsp
On top of all this, Tomcat 4.0 on Windows 2k Professional sets a cookie when
the JSP states session="false"
It would be nice if Apache.org would go from stable release to stable
release instead of beta to beta, or if anything on God's green earth would
work as advertised ! There, now I've vented. My immediate problem is getting
Tomcat to load a default index page. Has this happened to anyone else and
what can be done. I've searched the archives and not found anything. Of
course, I searched using "welcome-file" and the string was not to be found
in any of the hits. That's been my day for the most part. Any help is
appreciated.
Sincerely,
Neill Laney

Re: welcome-file-list is not working
Juan Pablo Goldfinger wrote: Hi: I have wrote in the web.xml of each tomca context, and nobody work!!! How I can work the welcome-file-list of the web.xml? Thanks, juan You will do much better asking a Tomcat-specific question on the TOMCAT-USER mailing list, rather than here. To save duplicated work, I will answer here this time, and cross-post to TOMCAT-USER so it shows up in the message archives. Historically, the most common problems getting welcome files to work have been: * Not following the required syntax of the web.xml file. * Trying to run Tomcat behind Apache - Apache does not read the web.xml file, so you will need to use httpd.conf directives (DirectoryIndex) to emulate this. Without more details about what you are doing, it is impossible to be more specific. Craig McClanahan
welcome-file-list
Hello! I am trying to have all my http request foward to a mainServlet first and after few verification send it to the appropriate page. For example, if you type http://mylocalhost/ if should go directly to myapp/servlet/mainServlet which reside in Tomcat. However if you type http://mylocalhost/hello.html, it should go to my Apache web server. I am using Apache+Tomcat combination. Someone told me once that I could use welcome-file-list but I haven't been able to find any doc Ideas? Thanks in advance! Cheers, Francis
Re: welcome-file-list
I want to execute a servlet as a welcome-file. how do i do this? i thought i'd put this in web.xml: servlet-mapping servlet-nametest/servlet-name url-pattern*.do/url-pattern /servlet-mapping welcome-file-list welcome-file index.do /welcome-file /welcome-file-list but that doesn't. i can't find the file index.do so it just skips the welcome file (including those defined in the general web.xml because welcome-file-list is overwritten i guess) and simply display the dir listing. greetz, Sam. - Original Message - From: "Tran, Francis" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2000 11:14 AM Subject: welcome-file-list Hello!
