Tomcat page redirect
Is there a simple way of causing a page redirect in Tomcat?
In Apache a simple change to the httpd.conf would suffice, but in
Tomcat the learning curve seems to be much steeper!
Basically, I have been told to modify our Aepona/Tomcat installation
so that when a user types
http://mytomcathost:8080
into their browser, then instead of getting the default set of Tomcat
pages (containing examples etc) they will get redirected to the home
page of the Aepona software itself which runs on Tomcat at
http://mytomcathost:8080/Causeway_PM
Can this be done by a simple change to a Tomcat configuration file?
Thanks
Colin

Ah, I see. The web.xml has a <welcome-file-list> section which lists
index.jsp, index.html and index.htm which is obviously a prioritised
search list.
Thanks again

The default file is called the welcome file with respect to the servlet
specification (section 9.9) and is configured via web.xml. You can
actually have any file name be your welcome file.

Thanks Tim, that worked fine.
Although the server defaulted to an index.html file, it seems that the
new index.jsp has a higher priority than index.html.

There is no "easy" way in tomcat. That is most people run apache in
front of tomcat and apache already has the functionality, so there is no
need to duplicate it in tomcat.
The easy hack is to create an index.jsp and have it be one line:
<%
response.sendRedirect("iNeed/MoreCowebll.jsp");
return;
%>

Anyone?
I thought that this would be a simple task to cause a page redirect.
(Incidentally we are running Tomcat, NOT Apache with the tomcat
module.)
