Eldo,
Here's an answer for 1.:
Your webserver.xml should look something like:
<WebServer id="webserver">
<Service id="service0" docBase="/path/to/documentroot">
<WebApplication id=... mapping=... docBase=... />
<WebApplication id=... mapping=... docBase=... />
</Service>
</WebServer>
When you specify http://localhost:8080, the index.html file comes from
the path specified in the "docBase" property for the "Service" and not
the "WebApplication". The actual location will be
"<docBase>/webpages/index.html". Also, in
"<docBase>/webpages/WEB-INF/webapp.properties there is a line like:
"welcomefiles=index.jsp,index.html,index.htm". Add "default.htm" at the
end if that is what you want to call your file (but it still goes in the
same webpages directory).
Hope this helps.
