Chaning location of initial web page
We are having a alot of trouble changing the location of the first page that
displays on Tomcat 3.2.3 server. If i start the server and then point my
browser to http://localhost:8080/ it brings up the following file:
d:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3\webapps\root\index.html
how do I change this so that it brings up an index.html in a different
directory on my harddrive:
d:\webdevelopment\miiq\index.html
I have searched all of the documentation and the mailing list archive and I
have only gotten more confused. We have all of our development for our site
in the above directory and need it to be the default directory when we are
working.
Thanks,

Well, I hope I'm getting this right. Any directory( or
*.war or *.tar.gz or *.jar file) right under webapps
that has the proper structure will be automatically
loaded as a context. What does your server.xml say
about the root, '/', context? What if you change the
root directory to another name and make your app the
root directory under webapps?

Hi,
You can always use HTML or JSP forwarding, along the lines of:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0; URL=/miiq/index.html">
</head>
</html>
Or something like
<html>
<head>
<title>JSP Forwarder</title>
</head>
<body>
<jsp:forward page="/miiq/index.html">
</body>
</html>
Good luck,
Yoav
