Modification on Tomcat Config

Post by Hubertus »

Since I only use Linux the following might or might not be true to windows as well.

When calling the url http://localhost:8080/AwareIM without logon.do, logon.jsp or whatever a directory listing is shown to the user.

To avoid this go to
$AwareIMroot$/Tomcat/webapps/AwareIM/WEB-INF
open web.xml in any text editor
search for

Code: Select all

<welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
now change this to

Code: Select all

<welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
    <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
In order to make these changes active you have to restart Tomcat

Could someone from AwareIM please confirm that this change has no side effects ?
