handle main home page by servlet instead of index.html?

[zhangzh]

tomcat 3.1
i deployed my sample application to webapps\dvd;
in browser, http://localhost:8080/dvd will inovke
webapps\dvd\index.html by default.
i'm trying to invoke a servlet by 'http://localhost:8080/dvd'
by dispatching to 'another.html' (rename index.html
to another.html).
set mapping url to '\' in web.xml didn't work.
is there any way to do this?
thanx,
zhangzh

My understanding the Tomcat doc was a little different in the
way we create our applications. We have to create all our
stuff under the ...\doc\appdev dir and then use the
build script which sets everything right and copies the
approppriate stuff in the correct places under the webapps
dir.
Please refer the Tomcat Deployment Descriptor for detailed
step-by-step procedure.
