Two welcome files in struts application

[Ingrid Morterud]

Hi.

I have a customer care application which is accessed by http://servername/customercare/ - this displays the login page.

However, I need an additional login-page. This page is called kslogon.jsp. I have created it and put it into the same folder as the index.jsp.
But I am not able to make the server display this page - not even when I use the absolute path. What am I missing?


This is an exerpt from the web.xml:
<!-- The Welcome File List -->
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>customercare/index.jsp</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>customercare/kslogon.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

Please - I do need urgent help.
Kind regards
Ingrid Morterud

Hi Ingrid, welcome to javaranch.

Ingrid is customercare the context path of your application?? Also are index.jsp and kslogon.jsp in the cutomercare folder in your application?? If the two JSP pages are at the root folder in your application and customercare is context path of your application, then you'll have to change the <welcome-file> elements and remove customercare/ from them. This doesn't mean that the server will display kslogon.jsp when you type http://servername/customercare/ in the browser, as the first welcome file is index.jsp, so it will be served to the browser if it is available.

Now this question doesn't seem to be concerned with Struts to me, as your problem is about welcome files and not struts.

I do need urgent help

Hi,

In web.xml you have coded:

  <!-- The Welcome File List --> 
<welcome-file-list> 
<welcome-file>customercare/index.jsp</welcome-file> 
<welcome-file>customercare/kslogon.jsp</welcome-file> 
</welcome-file-list>   

When your application opens it selects the options from welcome file list and displays the first found View page (customercare/index.jsp in your case). kslogon.jsp will never show up until and unless you delete the index.jsp from your application considering the fact that web.xml do not change.

What you can do is add a link in index.jsp for kslogin.jsp.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Vikash Anand.

Both index.jsp and kslogon.jsp is in the customercare folder in my application.

Do I understand you correctly if you by this are telling me you can only have one welcome page in the application?

If that is the case, can you please tell me what to do - I have two different sets of customers and they need two different logon pages. I thought that it would be possible to do it this way, but if there can only be one welcome page - then how can I solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Yes application can have only one initial page i.e. index page (name doesn't matter).

If you have requirement of having 2 index pages then ask two sets of customers to login using

http://servername/customercare/index.jsp
and
http://servername/customercare/kmlogin.jsp

instead of
http://servername/customercare/

else read my comment to add a link to different page in your existing index.jsp

This is exactly what I am trying to do.
I have now also tried to delete the welcome-file entries in the web.xml file.

However, when I try to access the kslogon.jsp file - I get an 404 or 505 error.

This is what my log says.

I still don't understand what the problem is.

I think that there is some problem in your JSP file.

Validate that struts-bean and struts-html is properly imported in kslogin.jsp page.

or there may be some JMS issue. I may not be able to help with JMS/EJB issues.
