define Index.vm as a welcome file
Hi all,
Currently I have index.html as a static html page, which just do
onload redirect to the full Turbine index.vm. But this looks awkward
because user first see index.html briefly and then the brower redirect
to Index.vm. I wonder is there a better way to configure turbine or
tomcat to invoke Index.vm directly.
Thanks!

Hi Richard,
as I said we use Tomcat standalone or behind an apache. You can do it
cleanly with an index.jsp in which you redirect to your application.
Kind regards

Betreff: RE: define Index.vm as a welcome file
Thank you guys for your help!
template.homepage won't do the trick here, because it only gives you the
default template if turbine's module resolver can't find a template
AFTER index.vm has been visited (I have previously set it to index.vm
anyway)
I am using tomcat as standalone, so apache won't help me here (I use
iptables to map port 80 to 8080, so users can just use my domain to
invoke my app)
I just tried out a way to make it work
- index.html is still as the welcome page on web.xml
- make a servlet, all it does is:
response.setRedirect(myAppContext/index.vm)
- in web.xml
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>redirect</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/index.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
The redirect is the new servlet name, this will redirect the static
index.html to the turbine's dynamic index.vm, and user won't be able to
see the index.html anymore.
comments are welcome!

If this is for production, I recommend trying out Jetty
I was very pleased with Jetty's performance over tomcat and it is very
simple to administer. I was able to drop in my webapp with no
changes and start it up.

AW: define Index.vm as a welcome file
Posted by Jürgen Hoffmann <jh...@byteaction.de>.
Hi,
we use an index.jsp page in which we ahve the following statement:
<%
response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL("http://www.example.de/weba
pp/servlet/webapp"));
%>
Which works just fine.
Kind regards

Hi Richard,
In your TurbineResources.properties, check the values for template.homepage
and screen.homepage - make sure these point to Index.vm and Login.vm
respectively.
Alternately, I guess you could use mod_rewrite to do a server side redirect
from index.html to index.vm, but changing the .properties file is probably
better.
Good luck,
David

I setup my webapp to load automatically through the apache Redirect
configuration as such
# httpd.conf
#
Redirect permanent / http://mydomain.com/myapp/servlet/myapp
#
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking to do, but it was the easiest
way I could find.
