Re: mod_jk & apache's DirectoryIndex directive

[Sven Köhler]

1. use mod_rewrite, and rewrite / to /index.jsp

to specific.
as you can see, i wanted index.html to be preferred.

2. use index.html with a META REFRESH of zero to index.jsp

???
do you really believe that i want to use a META REFRESH?

3. send everything to Tomcat, ("/*") and use <welcome-file> in web.xml

sending everything to tomcat is not that well design.
we could talk about sending html/htm to tomcat too, but that would be waste of CPU time

4. probably others, like writing a Filter

OK, but requires 3.

In short, putting index.jsp on the DirectoryIndex line has no effect.  You
might be able to play with the module load order so that mod_dir (or
whatever its called) was loaded before mod_jk, but I don't if anyone has
done that or if it would work.

I will try later, but on my first try, mod_jk tried to use a symbol of mod_dir which was not loaded, and therefor apache failed to start.
