Re: Servlet mapping for root directory in a webapp?
Alternatively, having a zero-length index.html file in your directory, together with a servlet-mapping should also work.

There's no magic, it's a clearly defined mapping for the url-pattern according to the laws in the servlet specification, v2.3. You can raise the logging level for the Host/Engine to see exactly the pattern resolution steps. The Servlet Specification v2.4, which tomcat 5 implements, supports a servlet as the welcome-file, which is what you are trying to do. Until then, most people make do with a simple index.html containing a meta http-equiv refresh directive.

Servlet mapping for root directory in a webapp?
Hello, I'm trying to get tomcat (from sun's jwsdp1.2) to do a default mapping. Ie, in my webbapp /stuff/ I want to get a servlet to serve the root page. As I understand it there is a default servlet that serves static content, I do not want to replace that one, but only load a specific servlet for the root url for my webapp. I (and a lot of other people, apparently =) have tried: servlet-mapping servlet-nameMainView/servlet-name url-pattern//url-pattern /servlet-mapping as I found it on a lot of search results, but as I understand it that pattern is already taken by the default servlet. It doesn't work. I have had little succes searching google, and the documentation for solutions. Is it at all possible, or does everyone just use a dummy index.html in the root directory and forwards the users to the real content serving servlet?
