Hi guys, thanks in advance.

I was wondering if you could help me solve a problem.
I have a website running apache tomcat webserver.
My Operating System is Windows XP
The address is http://www.themenu.co.za

The problem I am faced with is that when you go to the above link,
you will notice in the address bar that it shows
"http://www.themenu.co.za/index.jsp";.
My client whom I created the website for has firmly requested that the
address bar just shows the domain name without the /index.jsp.

Now I did some research into this problem and found a 'solution' from JGuru,
but it doesn't seem to work and prints out a massive stack trace in the
d.o.s window.
The url for the JGuru solution is :
http://www.jguru.com/misc/faqtrampoline.jsp?src=notify&EID=568108
here is what JGuru said I must put in my web.xml file(which causes the stack
trace):

<servlet>
        <servlet-name>index</servlet-name>
        <jsp-file>/index.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
           <servlet-name>index</servlet-name>
           <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>



To give you the best understanding of my setup I have included a few key
pieces of info.

Tomcat Directory :  C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1
Website Directory  C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\themenu
index.jsp file           C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat
4.1\webapps\themenu\index.jsp
server.xml file :       C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat
4.1\conf\server.xml
web.xml file :          C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat
4.1\conf\web.xml

I have created an exact replica of my server.xml and my web.xml file(without
JGuru insert) respectively at :

http://www.themenu.co.za/JUGQ/server.xml
http://www.themenu.co.za/JUGQ/web.xml

If you need anymore info please let me know.
Thanks again

Regards
Neil
