Problem with web.xml

[Madhu Vadlapudi <vm...@isac.ernet.in>]

Hello friends,

I have a problem with web.xml, in specifying the welcome-file-list tag. In the 
web.xml file i have specified in the following way.

<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

But my problem is, eventhough i have specified to pickup index.html as the 
welcome file my tomcat server is showing index.jsp file always. I tried other 
combination but no use. I am using tmcat-3.2.1. Other than conf/web.xml file, 
any other file i have to change or what? any installation problem? Please let 
me know.....

Thanks,

Madhu

If this is just for the first (homepage) you have two options, if you are
working with Tomcat via Apache create a standard .html page that you place
in your .htdocs of Apache, in this have a meta-refresh tag that directly
forwards to the .html you want to go to alternatively, strip all the
welcome-files from the list except index.html.

Hope this helps. I would also like to see if there are alternative/better
ways to accomplish this posted by someone else.

<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
