Yea, I thought about that( or even an asp redirect, defeats the purpose of using jsp) but I'm trying to get the referrer from the browser into a database and I don’t want index.html as my only referrer :)
I'll try just using tomcat, I would just switch to apache I guess but I paid about 1200 bucks for w2k server 2 years ago and STILL paying on it. Oh well.

I do it by making index.html my default home page, and having index.html be nothing but a meta refresh page with a time of "0" to http://www.foo.com/index.jsp. There are other ways...some Apache folks use mod_rewrite. This means index.jsp will show up in the address bar of the browser. If you don't want that, I'm not sure you can do it. I don't know enough about IIS to know if there is a more elegant way to do it. If you want to use Tomcat alone, you setup a welcome-file tag/element in your application's web.xml file that has index.jsp as a parameter.
