How to change the Default Home Page of Tomcat?

[Ajay Njallacattu]

Dear All,

Please give a solution by which you can change the Default Page of Tomcat.

When I type in http://localhost:8080/ I need to get a page in my application for e.g. http://localhost:8080/onjava/Login.jsp.

Can anyone help me in this.

Thanks in advance for the help.

The easiest would be to have the Tomcat home page (TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ROOT/index.jsp) perform a redirect to your start page.

Or, if you have just a single web app, you can move that to the ROOT web app.

Edit, webapp/ROOT/index.html and forward to the /onjava/Login.jsp

Thanks a lot for the quick reply.

But if i forward to my Page from the index.html on ROOT, it will affect other applications which are in the same Webserver.
Can we do something specific only to this application.

No, the other apps won't get affected by simple editing in the ROOT/index.html/jsp, also before editing the index file, please take the backup it.

Hi,

Sorry for another question.

Currently I have an onjava project and my java prject in my Tomcat.
If I channge this settings in the ROOT folder for my onjava project, will it affect the 'myjava' project.

NO. There is no dependency exists between any web apps deployed in Tomcat's 'webapps' folder.
