Re: URL Redirect
By default, Tomcat will serve "index.jsp" for a given directory, if no
file is specified.
When you surf to www.google.com you are not specifying what file you
want and therefore get the default.
You need to create a JSP/HTML page in the root directory called
index.jsp (if you are only using Tomcat) or index.html if you are using
Tomcat with Apache. The page will only contain the following:
<html>
<head>
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=zyx/abc/index.jsp">
</head>
</html>
This will be returned to the browser which will then automagically
request the correct page.
If you care, this is the crap way to do it. It is slow and requires a
second request from the browser, so for a single page request 2
round-trips are required. A better solution is to create a servlet that
serves the correct page without redirecting the browser. It will just
perform a server-side redirect, which is far faster and leaner.
If you want a quick and dirty solution, go for the meta tag, if you want
to do it properly it's time to learn Java and make a servlet.
