Question : How To Redirect to JSP Page From ROOT in Apache Tomcat

Hi,

I have an apache web Server set up and have deployed an application onto it. The application is set up in webapps in a directory named TestPage. I can access my application if I use the following URL:-

http://192.168.0.100/TestPage/Login.jsp

What I would like to do is enter http://192.168.0.100 and then have this route to TestPage/Login.jsp. I know that the default index tomcat page is in webapps/ROOT/index.jsp and I thought about replacing this page with a custom JSp page which just does a page forward - e.g:-
<%
%><jsp:forward page="/opt/netbeans-5.5.1/enterprise3/apahce-tomcat-5.5.17/we
bapps/TestPage/Login.jsp"/><%
%>

However, the above doesn't seem to do the trick - perhaps this is not the way to achieve what I want to do - if anyone has any suggestions then this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Michael

Answer : How To Redirect to JSP Page From ROOT in Apache Tomcat

You could rename the ROOT folder to something else and rename your TestPage folder to ROOT. Change the welcome page in your web app's web.xml  

  <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>Login.jsp</welcome-file>
  </welcome-file-list>
