welcome file in web.xml with pre-compiled jsp's?

[dh...@lexmark.com]

Hi.  I posted this to the tomcat user group, with no joy.

I am beginning to suspect this is a bug - is it "intended behaviour" that if
jsp's are pre-compiled you cannot use them as a welcome page?  Seems very
strange to me if it is!

Thanks,

Dave

Subject:  welcome file in web.xml with pre-compiled jsp's?

Hi everyone,

I am pre-compiling my jsp's in my struts web app, and everything works fine,
except specifying the welcome file in the web.xml.

If I do not pre-compile everything, having index.jsp as the first page works
great.  However, when I pre-compile index.jsp it doesn't work.  Putting an
uncompiled index.jsp back in the root directory makes it work again.  I guess it
is because jsp is not in root directory, but figure I should still be able to do
this...

Does anyone know if there is something special I have to do, or if there is
anywhere else I can specify the first page as a servlet?

btw, please copy me into any reply!

Thanks,

Dave
