[4.1.X] Tomcat main page

["Ignacio J. Ortega" <na...@siapi.es>]

I dont like very much to have a jsp page as main index page, mainly
because it slows down first presentation of tomcat, in a badly installed
system ( tools.jar not correctly configured ) the first page can be a
error 500, no good from a marketing point of view ;)

Comments ? i'm all to have a plain html page as presentation..

Saludos ,

If you are volunteering to maintain it, by all means replace "index.jsp"
with "index.html".

I'm with Pier on this one. Tomcat is a Servlet/JSP container; if JSP 
doesn't work, better to find out early.

If anybody has not enough to do :-), he could have an index.html with a
Please check here to be sure JSPs also work, but I think that's pretty silly.

It actually makes sense to have a JSP since tomcat ships with a JSP by
default... If you don't see the 500, you're not going to see it the first
time you run a JSP because you screwed up installing something.

So, the "yes it works" page is a good idea...
