welcome file for virtual/logical path

I have got the following servlet and -mapping in my DD:

<servlet>
<servlet-name>myservlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.example.web.MyServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>myservlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/path/to/myservlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

/path/to/myservlet is a virtual/logical path. It's not part of the file structure of my web app.

When calling http://localhost:8080/MyWebApp/path/to
I would like the server to respond with a welcome file instead of getting back a 404 error. How would you accomplish this? Please note, that /path/to/myservlet is not a physical path of my Web-Application.

Hi Rouven,

Have you tried the following welcome-file mapping:

I think you have to create a fysical path "/path/to" and put your index.html in there in order for the server to find your welcome-file.

Hi gorsky,
<welcome-file> cannot "/" character... every entry to <welcome-file> is applied to all application, (if you have directories under / YourApplication)
/path/to/myservlet is a virtual/logical path, if you configure a

will be applied to any application and not just /path/to/

You can not call direct http://localhost:8080/MyWebApp/path/to/myservlet or you can not have more than one 'path/xxx' to myservlet map, 'path/yyy' otherservlet
