Re: web.xml: my default.css file does not work correctly

[Jon Doe]

Thanks for this. Hmm, so this is something that I was not aware of. (The 
O'Relilly book -- Tomcat *Definitive* Reference -- doesn't even mention 
this!!!!) So, I've disabled the / mapping by commenting it out. And my CSS 
pages are working as normal. But trying to access my app with the root URL 
just causes a directory listing.

So how do I stop that? I'm deploying my app under a particular context, and 
clearly I want to be able to just put in http://host/context/ and expect it 
to pick the home page. It doesn't, but just gives me a directory listing. So 
adding a / mapping solves this but stops CSS, and without it I get CSS but 
no root mapping!!

Bugger!
Anyone have any ideas?
Joe.

You have overriddent the default servlet. That mean its your servlet's job 
to serve static resources. (There a threads in the archives about this)
