[ajug-members] Help me start my Dynamic Web App!

[Keith Mosley]

Gary,
 
Along with creating your Dynamic Web project did you create an Enterprise Application component? I noticed a few times with the new Eclipse that sometimes to effectively run a Dyna-Web-Proj you have to create this separately. Along with a descriptor you will need an "application.xml" file. These are held in the Enterprise Application component.

Joe Sam:

Thank you for your time. The Index.jsp is in my welcome-file-list.  Observe:

          <welcome-file-list>
              <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
              <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
              <welcome-file>Index.jsp</welcome-file>
              <welcome-file>default.html</welcome-file>
              <welcome-file>default.htm</welcome-file>
              <welcome-file>default.jsp</welcome-file>
         </welcome-file-list> 
This welcome-file-list node was created in the web.xml file by Eclipse when I created the project.  I just had to change the capitalization of the index.jsp entry so that it matched the name of the Index.jsp I created.
Should I move the Index.jsp node so that it is the first node in the welcome-file-list node?
thanks again.
Gary

   Hi Gary,

   The default page to display is typically index.html or index.htm.  If
you want something else, like index.jsp, to display by default, you'll have
to change or add to the welcome-file-list in web.xml.

   If you don't know how to do that, google for:

           welcome-file-list

   HTH,
