Tomcat default index.html location - how can I change this???

843833Aug 22 2001 — edited Dec 11 2001
Hi,

Does anyone know how I can modify Tomcat config so that if I request

http://localhost/

that Tomcat goes to say

/webapps/myapp/index.jsp

instead of deciding to go to what seems to be the default of

/ROOT/index.html

Part 2 of this is how does tomcat decide which hello file to show?

thanks in advance
Greg

PS I know I could replace the contents of /ROOT/index.html however I'm interested in how to do this via reconfiguring tomcat.

You can set a docbase for a context via server.xml.

e.g.

<Context path="/examples"
docBase="c:/myexamples">
</Context>

This can be used on the root context like this...


<Context path="/"
docBase="c:/myroot">
</Context>


Hope this helps

hi,
i did as said by nick, but it still it refers to the default index.html
This is what i did,
<!-- Tomcat Root Context -->
<!--
<Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/>
-->

<!-- MY application -->
<Context path="/jsp" docBase="jsp"
debug="0" privileged="true"/>

<!-- Tomcat Manager Context -->
<Context path="/manager" docBase="manager"
debug="0" privileged="true"/>

<!-- Tomcat Examples Context -->
<Context path="/examples" docBase="examples" debug="0"
reloadable="true">...............
