how to access index.jsp

[wizumwalt]

Hi all,

I created an index.jsp page and packaged it up in a war and deployed it in jboss and would like to know how to access it w/o having to type in the name of my web application. If I just do 'http://localhost:8080', then I get the jboss page instead of my index.html.

You need to put a <welcome-file-list> entry in your web.xml deployment descriptor

In WEB-INF, create a file name jboss-web.xml. In that file, place the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-web>
 <context-root>/</context-root>
</jboss-web>

The context-root entry provides the magic.
