Re: How do I make my servlet the welcome page

[Jonathan Eric Miller]

The problem that I found with doing it this way is that I had a 
security-constraint on my application and it wasn't being enforced when I 
tried to do that. So, I created an index page that redirects to the 
application.

Change your web.xml to specify the new 2.4 schema , aka:
<web-app
       xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee";
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee 
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd";
       version="2.4"

Then add your servlet's mapping to <welcome-file-list>.
[for the archives: using servlets as welcome files is supported as of
servlet spec 2.4, which Tomcat 5.x implements]
