welcome-file-list
Hello,
I have a web site that I want accessed using the dns name:
eg:
http://www.purcell.com
I have a welcome-file entry which says go to index.jsp.
Of course the page loads and the url looks like this:
http://www.purcell.com/index.jsp
Is there anyway to remove the index.jsp, but display that page. Occasionally I see that when I am surfing and wonder how this is accomplished?
Does anyone know how to configure this to show a clean url in browser. (aside from JS).
Thanks,
Scott

Tomcat 5 hides index.jsp, tomcat 4 does not.

If I have correctelly understand the problem, to solve it u just have
to add in your web.xml a few lines like this:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>/index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
where u can change /index.jsp with any other page that you like to
display as your start page.
Hope this help,
Omar
