Re: URL hiding in Tomcat

[Chen, Gin]

You dont need to do that.. Just do:  <welcome-file>/ephome/news/ep_infozone.jsp</welcome-file> Since you are already in your web application at this time. You dont need to hardcode the host URL. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: anoop [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 9:53 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: URL hiding in Tomcat but urls dont seem to work..here is my web.xml which is in my root/web-inf folder..   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>   <!DOCTYPE web-app     PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"     "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2.2.dtd">   <web-app> <welcome-file-list>  <welcome-file>            http://260.102.10.1:8080/ephome/news/ep_infozone.jsp         </welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> </web-app>   but when i use just a static file..Login.html in the welcome-file tags then it works perfectly.. any more suggestions??   anoop ----- Original Message ----- From: Chen, Gin To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 7:45 PM Subject: Re: URL hiding in Tomcat I dont know what you mean by welcome-file-list being only for files and not for urls. I've always used the welcome file method and it always works. But remember, if you are using Tomcat.. you need to add the welcome file list to the web.xml in your ROOT/web-inf folder -Tim -----Original Message----- From: anoop [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 1:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: URL hiding in Tomcat hi all,   i have a made a web site which has a home link in it.
