Hi. I had that error, that I could not put a .jsp in the root. I am not sure why but I remember I could not find a way around it at the time so I ended up putting it in the /jsp folder with all the rest of the .jsp files and pointing the
<welcome-file-list> option in web.xml at /jsp/index.jsp I would try doing some poking around in TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml to see if there is something getting in the way there. If you still have problems let me know.
