Change welcome page
Hi,
is there an easy way to configure Tomcat (5.0.27) in order to change the
default welcome page (http://localhost:8080)?
I'm using Business Objects with Tomcat and I always have to use a long URL
like 'http://localhost:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch'
to see the application that I want to see. I'm trying for two days now and
wasn't able to configure it...
Any hints??
thanks a lot!!
Fabian

It is better to add index.jsp that would redirect to business objects.
You would not have to move business objects.
index.jsp
<%
response.sendRedirect("http://localhost:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch");
%>

I'm not quite sure if I understand you correctly...but Tomcat cannot
serve ASPs. It serves JSPs and servlets.
If I've misunderstood, and you're intending to migrate from ASPs to
JSPs/servlets, then I apologize.

These two sentences make me think the following:
PWS is basically nothing different than IIS, but compiled for Windows 98.
As Windows XP comes with IIS this is propably the best chiose for you.
There you have asp and you can use the components already do.

If your content is static pages, the Apache might be a better option. If you
are using Java Servlets for dynamic content, then Tomcat would work fine.
You may have to adjust some of your code to match changes in the runtimes.
If you are using ASP, I don't think Tomcat is for you.
You should be able to run PWS and Tomcat at the same time on different
ports.
Remember that Tomcat is a Java centric servlet container. It can serve up
static content but is primarily suited to run and control your Java
Servlets.

Subject: Is Tomcat a good solution for me?
Hi,
I'd like some help in figuring out if Tomcat is right for me. I currently
have
PWS running in '98se with ASP pages. I have very little traffic. I'd like
to
use the same web pages I currently have.
I'd like to move towards XP Pro.
My first question is should I use Tomcat to replace PWS?
Should I install Apache at the same time or will Tomcat suffice my needs. I
don't expect to expand the web pages.
Can I install Tomcat on the same PC PWS is currently running and use a
different port for Tomcat while I am testing/configuring the same web pages.
After I know it works I would want to swap ports between PWS and Tomcat.
After
I know Tomcat is fully functional I could remove PWS.
I don't currently have the XP Pro box. I'd like to migrate everything to
Tomcat on '98 if I could.
Any and all suggestions are welcome. If I haven't given enough information
to
advise me please let me know.
Thank you,
Gary Kuznitz

You have to replace the existing ROOT app with your own. Delete the
existing webapps/ROOT directory, and then rename your .war or deployment
directory to ROOT - assuming it's under webapps.

Hi,
and then? What do I have to change in order to see the BusinessObjects
application when I use http://localhost:8080 ?
I guess I have to put another line in the ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml....
right?

You just need to change the ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml to remove the
servlet mapping to index.jsp.

That's not quite sufficient, since the default ROOT app has a
precompiled index.jsp, and that one along with its servlet mapping must
be removed before a replacement is effective.

Just put an index.jsp in webapp/ROOT/ that does a redirect to correct url
