Hello all. I'm just looking for a quick sanity check before I go off to build some pieces....
I'm building out a webapp that will use Struts with Tomcat 5.0.2x. I'm planning to run everything under Tomcat and avoid deploying Apache for handling static content. I've prototyped a signup module for the app, and I'm experimenting with the behaviour of the module. Currently, the module is at a URL of localhost/<servercontext>/signup, and the initial action is setup as "welcome.do". So to signup, a user would go to localhost/webapp/signup/welcome.do. Testing this, I entered localhost/webapp/signup as a URL, and Tomcat came back with a directory listing. I can disable that in web.xml, but then that URL comes back as 404. I tried putting a file named index.jsp (which is set up as a welcome file in web.xml) in the directory, but I still got a directory listing. What I'd like to do is have the incomplete URL automatically append the "welcome.do" and forward the user to the start of the signup module. Ideally, I'd set this up as a pattern for every module in the app. I'm thinking the best way to do this is to extend org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet to simply append "welcome.do" when the URL doesn't include an action, and then let Struts handle everything from there. But before I go do that, I want to make sure I'm not missing an easier alternative, either by changing my action mapping patterns or pulling some other Struts and/or Tomcat trick. Any and all advice gratefully accepted!
