| !How to use a Servlet as your main page in Servlets 2.3 and lower |
| If you are using servlets 2.3 or lower, you can point to a JSP file instead, and make that file redirect to your servlet. eg: |
| File redirect.jsp (where /CMS is mapped to your servlet, as in the above examples) |
| {{{ |
| <% |
| response.sendRedirect("http://yoursite.com/CMS"); |
| %> |
| }}} |
| Welcome-file list in web.xml: |
| {{{ |
| <!-- The main page for the site will be redirect.jsp servlet, which redirects --> |
| <!-- to the MyCMS servlet (http://yoursite.com/CMS) --> |
| <!-- No mapping is defined for other folders (http://website/someFolder/CMS), --> |
| <!-- so one of the other files will be displayed (index.html, index.htm, index.jsp) --> |
| <welcome-file-list> |
| <welcome-file>redirect.jsp</welcome-file> |
| <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file> |
| <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file> |
| <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> |
| </welcome-file-list> |
| }}} |
| !Troubleshooting |
| * Make sure you don't use leading slashes on your <[welcome-file-list|web.xml.WelcomeFileList]> files (eg: use CMS, not /CMS) |
| * If using the servlet in a <[welcome-file-list|web.xml.WelcomeFileList]>, make sure your [web.xml] version is 2.4 or above (see [web.xml - DTD and XSD]), and that you are using a 2.4 compliant container or above (eg: Tomcat 5.5 or above) |
