servlet mapping and url

[s s <su...@yahoo.com>]

i want to invoke a servlet using url like http://localhost:8080 only
 
i have done it using http://localhost:8080/index.html where index.html is a servlet. Is it possible to load this servlet as a default just like a default web page. The point is i want a servlet to recieve a request when url http://localhost:8080 is referenced i.e without the servlet name.
 
is it possible?

Hi,

I don't think there is any restriction to mapping a servlet to a welcome 
page:

<servlet>
<servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name> 
<servlet-class>com.company.app.MyServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/myServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>/myServlet</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

Also, I'm not as sure, put I think just mapping the servlet to / will do 
the trick as well.  Both are easy enough to test though, give it a shot 
and post back your results for the archives.

[Hardik Tank <ha...@yahoo.com>]

you can configure your web.xml file and make index.jsp
file as an welcome file using,

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

now, create index.jsp file which will simply forward
the request to your servlet!
