Putting Servlet as welcome file

          Hello, I'm playing with struts example on weblogic 7.
          When I specify my servlet in my welcome-file list, the webserver gave me a 403
          error.
          For instance, if i try
          http://localhost:7001/myapp/
          it will give me a HTTP 403 error.
          if i try
          http://localhost:7001/myapp/logon.do
          it works.
          So is there someway I can configure weblogic 7 to
          accept servlet as welcome file?
          Thanks.
          /* my xml file */
          <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
          <servlet-lass>
          org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet
          </servlet-class>
          <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
          </servlet-mapping>
          <welcome-file-list>
          <welcome-file>hello.do</welcome-file>
          </welcome-file-list>
          /** end of xml code */

If you have a proxy in front of WLP, you can have whatever url you like set as
the default to forward on to your .portal.
Alternatively, can you not specify the welcome page in the web.xml file?

But Kunal,
It will cause the URL to change right ?
I don't want to URL to change
Otherwise, if we have www.foo.com then,
How it can point to www.foo.com/home.portal but the URL should not change.
Is there any way.??

One way is to configure an index.html as the welcome file. This index.htmlcan
do a meta redirect to the url for the desktop or the .portal file.

How to set two different welcome-file to different servlets in web.xml

Hi friends,
Can some one help with web.xml file
I have to different servlets in applications.
I want to set two different welcome files for my two different

Please, can some one give me sample code to achieve this.
Here web.xml code:

     </welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
I need this fix immediately. Your help will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

First of all, my understanding is that you need to have a Servlet 2.4 complaint server to do this...Given that, you're supposed to be able to simply specify the Name of the servlet as the welcome-file to get it to work. For example:
Your servlet section:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Controller</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.company.ControllerServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>Now you would add the following to your welcome file list:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>Controller</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>Note that you use the servlet-name value from the servlet definition, NOT the url-mapping from the servlet-mapping section.
Please note that I cannot verify this as I am running a 2.3 server at home. When I get to work Friday I can test on a 2.4 machine. However this shouldn't take you more than a minute to test.
Note that I did try this on the 2.3 compliant server and it did NOT work (as I expected)...
HTH.

Servlet as a welcome file: is it a myth?

Hello
There are many articles on the web that espouse that Servets 2.4 allow for a servlet to be specified as a welcome file thusly (taken from OnJava.com):
First, register the servlet in web.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi=
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation=
"http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" version="2.4">
<servlet>
<servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name.
<servlet-class>com.jspservletcookbook.MyServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/myservlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Then create a welcome-file element in web.xml that specifies the registered servlet name.
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>MyServlet</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>default.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
Make sure to use the servlet name in the welcome-file element without a forward slash (/) preceding it.
Poppycock I say. At least it's not working for me with either Tomcat 5 or Tomcat 5.5. Has anyone out there ever seen this work on Tomcat?

It most certainly is possible now, but wasn't until rather late in TC 5.0.xx series I believe (5.0.18 or so?). You can chack the change logs to id exactly when...
But the reason it isn't working for you is you have to match the value in your <welcome-file> to the URL in the servlet's <url-pattern> servlet mapping. So your web XML should look like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name.
<servlet-class>com.jspservletcookbook.MyServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/myservlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>myservlet</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>default.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>Your porblem was case. Your url-pattern had lower case, but the welcome-file had upper case letters like the servlet name.
Here is an example app that I tested and worked:
//The servlet:
package net.thelukes.steven;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
public class WelcomeServlet extends HttpServlet {
     public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
       throws ServletException, IOException {
          PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
          out.println("Hello World");
          out.flush();
          out.close();
//the web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

         xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee

     <display-name>WTPTest</display-name>
     <servlet>
          <servlet-name>Welcome</servlet-name>
          <servlet-class>net.thelukes.steven.WelcomeServlet</servlet-class>
     </servlet>
     <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>Welcome</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/welcome</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>
     <welcome-file-list>
          <welcome-file>welcome</welcome-file>

How to resolve this,

This might help:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=696586
As well, you might have to change the servlet-mapping in your web.xml. The url-pattern, I think, needs to be .xhtml. Your login.jsf file in the welcome list will need to be renamed to login.xhtml.

Welcome file and Jsp compiled

Hi,
I have very problems with compiled JSP. I work with tomcat 4.0.1.
1) When I compile JSP with jspc and -webapp option and -webinc,
he creates a file xml as :
     <servlet>
<servlet-name>.hdi_0005faideResolveur</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>.hdi_0005faideResolveur</servlet-class>
     </servlet>
     <servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>.hdi_0005faideResolveur</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/jsp/Pastel/doc/hdi_aideResolveur.jsp</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>
It don't work. I need to modify "-class>." in "-class>".
Is it normal ?????????
2) In web.xml, I have define a welcome-file as :
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>/jsp/Pastel/hdi_index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
When I work in un-compile Jsp, It's work well.
But, with compile-jsp, it don't' work. I have tried :
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>servlet/.hdi_0005findex</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
I don't work to.
Have you a solution ?????????
Thanks,

Where to put the source code files of servlets

          Hello All,
          Normally, jsp pages are put under the WEB-INF directory. This makes them secure.
          But my application is built on servlets. Should I be putting all my source code
          under the web-inf directory.
          If I don't will there be some problem?
          regards,
          Abhi


Hi Abhishek,
          You don't need to put servlet's source code to the war.
          All you need to put there is compiled code. Files containing
          compiled code end with .class.
          Regards,

Can I use servlet as my welcome file

How can I use servlet as my welcome file? I know how to use jsp or html pages as my welcome file but that doesn't work for servlets. I modified my web.xml for making jsps and html as my welcome pages but that <welcome-file-list> tag is not working for servlets.

This was a bug that occured in older Tomcat programs, not sure if it still occurs or not.
Basically, when this happens, you have to have a physical file with the welcome file name. So you would have to create a file named index.do in each of your directories you wanted the welcome to work for. The index.do wouldn't have to actually do anything. It just had to exist. Then when the URL was used to create content, the servlet would be called to create that content.

Welcome-file issue in App Server 8.2

Hello all,
can you explain some strange behaviour of Application Server?
I have to set some page as a starting page. We all know that i have to put
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>MyStartPage.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
to web.xml.
So, my app does not include servlets, and i have web.xml as following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.4" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>MyStartPage.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
BUT: this works in Tomcat, but does NOT work in Sun App Server 8.2.
In SUN App server, i have to add
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Fake servlet</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>MyStartPage.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
to web.xml (obviously, before welcome-file-list element).
IMHO, it's an issue... Why do i have to use some fake declaration?
Can someone test this curious issue against other App servers?
Thanks in advance, Vad.

Hi,
I am facing the same issue. I did not verify with Tomcat but with an earlier version - 1.4.01
It used to work earlier with J2ee sdk 1.4.01. I installed the J2ee sdk 1.4.03 after uninstalling 1.4.01. I had a bunch of JSPs, and a web.xml specifying the welcome page. It used to work fine. Now after 1.4.03, (server 8.2), the welcome page does not work. Instead it displays the list of JSPs on the page. There have been no modifications to the web.xml. The 8.2 has a bug here.

Welcome-file to point to file in directory

Hi,
I'm having trouble getting my servlet to launch the correct file from startup. I have a .vm file located at:
/WEB-INF/pages/teaser.vm
and in my web.xml file, I put:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>/pages/teaser.vm</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
This ends up showing the directory structure of my project.
I even tried using
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>/WEB-INF/pages/teaser.vm</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
which just says "resource can not be found"
But if I put teaser.vm outside the WEB-INF folder and use:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>teaser.vm</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
then it shows up... I don't want to have to do this, however, since I would like to keep my directory structure as clean as possible.

nvermind, i got it to work by placing the directory outside of the WEB-INF folder... I guess i'm too new at this stuff ^_^"'

8.1 EE can't find page and appends the welcome-file name to the url

I have a problem where you enter a url that points to a static file in the xxxEar-WebModule_war directory. That is the "docroot" directory for the application. Somewhere along the line the welcome-file (index.html) is appended to the url. For example I enter http://server.com/app/file.xml and it gets changed to http://server.com/app/file.xml/index.html, which is not found.
This was not a problem in 8.1 platform. Now that we upgraded to 8.1 enterprise it is a problem.
All urls that are mapped to servlets work fine. I just can't seem to access static content.
Thanks!

Welcome file usage: can it be any URL?

Hi,
Do welcome-files have to always be concrete files such as .html or .jsp files? I am finding that when using Tomcat 4.0.1, if I specify a servlet mapping as a welcome file, I end up getting a directory listing.
For example, since I am using Struts, I have specified a Struts action as my welcome-file, but Tomcat seems to ignore this altogether and I end up getting a directory listing. If I request the action directly, then I have no problems.
Has anyone faced any similar issues?
Regards,
Steve

Hi,
I am also running into the same issue.
Did you get any workaround?

Setting the welcome-file

i have a problem something like this...
i am setting my welcome-file im my web.xml to index.faces
but i got allways this error 404 that this site does not exist....
the stragne thing is that the massege says "/" could not found and not "index.faces" could mnot found:
HTTP Status 404 - /
type Status report
message /
description The requested resource (/) is not available.why is this happening?? i jhave index.faces file why it couldn't been found????
plz help
P.s.: if i set my welcome-file to onther xyz.html file...everything goes ok...

here's a sample of what I did to set my welcome file using tiles
edit struts-config and add these lines under <global-forwards>
<forward name="index" path="/.index.do" />index.do is defined under the action mappings and will be pointing to the definition name of the page i defined in tiles-def (.indexDef) as shown below:
then under the <action-mappings>
<action path="/index"
               type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
               parameter=".indexDef" /> in my tiles-def i have a base definition which all layouts extend and this is what .indexDef is:
<definition name=".indexDef" extends=".baseDef">
          <put name="title" value="..." />
          <put name="body" value="/WEB-INF/tiles/indexBody.jsp" />
     </definition> hope this helps. if you still can't do it, kindly post your struts-config, tiles-def files :D

Welcome File in Web.xml

          I am having problems with my web.xml file.
          I have my welcome page <welcome-file> as my “home_page.jsp” which I want to be
          the default page on start-up. On this page is a link to “log on”. When you click
          on this you are taken to my (FORM) “Login.jsp”. After successful logon I want
          to go to the “Welcome.jsp”, instead I am returned to my “home_page.jsp”. Which
          puts me in a continuous loop. How after successful logon can I be directed to
          a page other than the <welcome-file> “home_page.jsp”
          My web.xml file looks like this;

          Thanks.


It doesn't quite work that way. You should just direct the user directly to
          the Welcome.jsp page. If they're not already logged in, they'll be asked to
          log-in via the Login.jsp. The login mechanism knows to redirect them to the
          last page they wanted once they successfully log in. I think this is why you
          are being returned to the home_page.jsp, since there was no target
          restricted page requested.
          I have to admit - this mechanism doesn't lend itself to the portal-style
          login used on the web. It's geared more towards security and authorization
          for access to particular URL resources. You might need to tweak how your GUI
          looks to make this mechanism make sense.
          Alternatively, you could add some code to the home_page.jsp to redirect the
          user to a specific restricted page based on what is in their session. I
          would also suggest that the Welcome.jsp and home_page.jsp be the same page
          that just behaves differently based upon whether a user is logged in or not.

Welcome-file ignored?

The application does not take the welcome-file specified in web.xml into account.
     <welcome-file-list>
          <welcome-file>home.jsp</welcome-file>
     </welcome-file-list>
I tried with home.jsp, /home.jsp, home.jsf and /home.jsf, but without success.
Direct access works well so the page is ok.
Am I missing some part of the configuration?
Help would be appreciated.

with some containers, if the literal file doesn't exist , it won't work. Example, if I have a servlet mapped to the uri '/index.html', unless I have an index.html file at the root of my application, it won't resolve in the welcome-file-list.

Welcome File Trouble

This should be an easy problem, but I've been at it for some time now... When I use the URL http://127.0.0.1:8080/myapp/, the welcome-file I specify in web.xml is
not displayed, but a directory listing instead for the directory $tomcat/webapps/myapp.
I can, however, type in the full name of the welcome-file (i.e. http://127.0.0.1:8080/myapp/IndexServlet) and arrive there.
The bottom of my web.xml file is as follows:
    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>IndexServlet</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>
    <resource-ref>
        <description>DB Connection</description>
        <res-ref-name>jdbc/MySQL</res-ref-name>
        <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
        <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
    </resource-ref>
</web-app>I am using a Context that I defined in server.xml and I suspect that may be related. Does anyone know any
possible causes of this?
The Context portion of my server.xml is as follows:
                <Context className="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext" cachingAllowed="true"
charsetMapperClass="org.apache.catalina.util.CharsetMapper" cookies="true" crossContext="true"
debug="3" docBase="myapp" mapperClass="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextMapper" path="/myapp" privileged="false" reloadable="true"
swallowOutput="false" useNaming="true" wrapperClass="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper">
                    <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" debug="0" directory="logs"
prefix="myapp." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true" verbosity="5"/>
                    <Resource auth="Container" name="jdbc/MySQL" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
                    <ResourceParams name="jdbc/MySQL">
                        <parameter>
                            <name>username</name>
                            <value>*****</value>
                        </parameter>
                        <parameter>
                            <name>password</name>
                            <value>*****</value>
                        </parameter>
                        <parameter>
                            <name>driverClassName</name>
                            <value>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</value>
                        </parameter>
                        <parameter>
                            <name>url</name>
                            <value>********************************</value>
                        </parameter>
                    </ResourceParams>
                </Context>Thanks,
Dave

It's unlikely; if you're suggesting that you couldn't
have a web application
with only servlets, then there is no way there is a
rule like that."No way"? Really? Well you could look at the source of Tomcat and find out. After couple of minutes of peeking I saw:
     * Check to see if a default page exists.
     * @param pathname Pathname of the file to be served
    private ResourceInfo checkWelcomeFiles(String pathname,
                                           DirContext resources) { ... }Note the "Pathname of the file to be served."
So you could be wrong in your belief.
