I have a web app with a few servlets. One of these servlets I'd like to be the "default" servlet - basically it should handle any request that the other servlets don't handle, or that isn't for an image file or other resource. So far, I've set this up by mapping a special index/welcome page name to the servlet. i.e. with <url-mapping>*.mypage</url-mapping>, and then setting "index.mypage" as one of the welcome files. This works nicely, but the only problem is that on Tomcat (and maybe others), "index.mypage" now shows up in the URL. For example, if the original URL the user typed in was "http://www.foo.com/";, their browser will now show "http://www.foo.com/index.mypage";.
Is there any way to have Tomcat not set the location to the URL with the index.mypage in it? I should note, this shall be the only webapp for this instance of Tomcat, so if I need to redo my context somehow to achieve this, that's fine. Currently the context looks like: <Context path="" docBase="foo" ...> I will need to be able to deploy it as both a WAR, and an expanded webapp/non-WAR (for development). ____ Chris Bailey mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Code Intensity http://www.codeintensity.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
