Welcome file and struts
Hi folks!
I have got a question concerning the welcome file in the web.xml. I have
tried the following:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>/index.do</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
Could it be that tomcat has problems with this because the file doesn´t
physically exist? The reason for assuming this is that index.vm (velocity
template) seems to work!?
Could someone please give me some guidelines on how to get tomcat to load my
index.do on startup.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

thanks!
Nevertheless, it´s fairly quiet for a friday :-) !

p.s. I found another solution which involved a META-Refresh, but I think the
thread below has a better solution (if it works :-) ).

I just found this solution, which seems quite good:
quote:
"Create a index.jsp and place a <logic:forward/> tag to
forward to index.do."

RE: Re[2]: Welcome file and struts
Posted by Andrew Hill <an...@gridnode.com>.
My application isnt using any JSP's and I need to go through an action
before I can get to any views - even the login page. (Id prefer a dummy file
to a meta refresh index.html page as I feel it would load a wee bit
quicker).

Feels a bit weird having part of your deployment depend on a dummy file
though. I went for the index.jsp idea myself.

Ooo.
The idea from Dennis Muhlestein seems better than my tactic.
What a neat idea. Think I might switch to doing it this way.
To quote his posting: "Anyway, I added index.do to the list of files for
apache to
automatically pull up and then just made a dummy file called index.do
tomcat gets the request and it works just fine."

Oops. Sorry guess I missed the original post!
Yeh. I couldnt get this one to work either. Darn nuisance.
I ended up creating a very simple .html file that used a meta refresh to
redirect to the required action thusly:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='preLogin.do'"/>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
