I want to execute a servlet as a welcome-file.
how do i do this?
i thought i'd put this in web.xml:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>test</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>
index.do
</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
but that doesn't.
i can't find the file index.do so it just skips the welcome file (including
those defined in the general web.xml because <welcome-file-list> is
overwritten i guess) and simply display the dir listing.
greetz,
Sam.
