Help...setting my application homepage

[geeordanoh]

Hi,

I am a Seam beginner :-) I am trying to setup a simple Seam,Jboss,mySQL application but I am not able to set the homepage of my application. Where I have to set it? In pages.xml? I simply want that when the user type the URL (http://localhost:8080/myappname) of my application he is automatically redirected to my initial page: "home.xhtml"

Currently my pages.xml is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<pages xmlns="http://jboss.com/products/seam/pages"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://jboss.com/products/seam/pages http://jboss.com/products/seam/pages-2.1.xsd"

       no-conversation-view-id="home.xhtml"
                 login-view-id="home.xhtml">

  
   
    <exception class="org.jboss.seam.security.NotLoggedInException">
        <redirect view-id="/home.xhtml">
            <message severity="warn">You must be logged in to use this feature</message>
        </redirect>
    </exception>
   
    <exception class="javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException">
        <redirect view-id="/home.xhtml">
            <message severity="warn">Session expired, please log in again</message>
        </redirect>
    </exception>

</pages>

is that correct?
Thank you for your help ;-)

Bye,

Check context-root in application.xml
Sample
<module>
   <web>
     <web-uri>myappname.war</web-uri>
     <context-root>/myappname</context-root>
   </web>
</module>

Then use this url : http://localhost:8080/myappname
It will be redirected to home.xhtml, where you can use meta http tag.. to refresh to any page...
