FWIW, someone else and I are trying to do something similar. There
was just a bit of a thread here about it ("newbie servlet deploy
question"). From the FAQ-o-matic on the jakarta/tomcat site, I found
the suggestion to either:
1. add an index file that does a redirect to the appropriate URL (I
did that successfully with both a Refresh in an index.html file and
a RequestDispatcher forward() in a index.jsp) -- the problem though
was that it changed the "Location:" box in the browser, which I
didn't want to happen
or
2. use mod_rewrite (which I haven't tried yet, but plan to)
Anyway, sounds like this will be easier to do with the new 2.3 spec.
