Thanks for this. But it still didn't answer my problem (which is solved -- see below). I don't have a 'welcome file'. I have a welcome page generated by a servlet -- so you can reference it with

  http://localhost:8080/context/home.myext

And I can map this no problem. But to get this to work:

  http://localhost:8080/context/

fails. I assumed the '<welcome-file-list>' was relevant, but it only seems to be for real files (html, jsp, etc), not for 'virtual' URLs.

But for the record I solved my problem by creating an index.html file with just:

  <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=/context/home.myext">

and had *everything* else mapped using my Router servlet. Works like a dream!

Thanks again.

Joe.


: 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.


Check your book (or the servlet spec) for "<welcome-file-list>."
It's akin to the "DirectoryIndex" directive in Apache httpd, which lists
the file(s) checked when a request is made to just a directory path
(e.g. index.html).
