RE: Convert URL path from directory/ to directory/index.htm (Spring related)
Hi, You'd normally attempt to do this with URL rewriting at the web server side. I read that tomcat does not really offer URL rewriting at this time if used as a web server, I could be wrong. For what it's worth, we place index.jsp documents in folders that the user may request that do a erquest forward to index.htm which is then picked up by Spring. If using IIS you can also specifying default documents like index.htm which the web server will try until it gets a bite from Tomcat All the best, Allistair. -Original Message- From: Andy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 June 2005 14:18 To: tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org Subject: Convert URL path from directory/ to directory/index.htm (Spring related) Hi, Is there anyway to get Tomcat to convert a request such as myserver.com/directory into myserver.com/directory/index.htm.

Re: Convert URL path from directory/ to directory/index.htm (Spring related)
Hi Andy - Control of what to handle in tomcat and how to forward is fairly limited. (someone posted the relevant parts of the servlet spec) What I do is have tomcat forward all requests to spring, except for ones I really want tomcat's default servlet to handle (static stuff like images, css), so I have the following in the web.xml servlet-mapping servlet-namedefault/servlet-name url-pattern*.gif/url-pattern /servlet-mapping servlet-mapping servlet-namedefault/servlet-name url-pattern*.png/url-pattern /servlet-mapping servlet-mapping servlet-namedefault/servlet-name url-pattern*.css/url-pattern /servlet-mapping servlet-mapping servlet-namemy_spring_dispatcher/servlet-name url-pattern//url-pattern /servlet-mapping The control you have on url-mapping is much finer in spring - so why not do everything you want there... This __does__ mean you have to handle 404 etc type problems within spring (but again, quite easy to have a catch-all handler for these). I only do the default mappings so spring doesn't need to handle obviously static resouces. hth Tim Andy wrote: Hi, Is there anyway to get Tomcat to convert a request such as myserver.com/directory into myserver.com/directory/index.htm.

Re: Convert URL path from directory/ to directory/index.htm (Spring related)
This is also done in Tomcat via welcome-file element in web.xml. Ex.: welcome-file-list welcome-fileindex.htm /welcome-file /welcome-file-list In servlet spec 2.4 (Tomcat 5.0,5.5), this can map to either a physical file or a servlet mapped to that URL. I think in earlier servlet specs, it had to be a physical file. SRV.9.10 of the spec has more info. --David Allistair Crossley wrote: Hi, You'd normally attempt to do this with URL rewriting at the web server side.
