Not the regular simple problem. I have url pattern such as this - http://myserver.com/known/aaa/bbb/NNNN/index.do now this aaa, bbb & NNNN are unknown to me (NNNN is a physical directory though -- but there are several), and my servlet filter does the needful to dispatch the corrrect URL from this. Now my problem is -- when the user doesn't enter index.do at the end - it ends up showing the directory listing which I want to prevent and want to serve index.do page instead. I *cannot* add index.jsp in all those NNNN directories as they are generated on fly. I have added following configuration to welcome-file list in my web.xml, but it doesn't serve index.do from there. What can I do to fix this? TIA, - Manish

1) Don't use /index.do as the URL for the welcome file. You want it to be <welcome-file>index.do</welcome-file> 2) What version of Tomcat are you using? I know in older versions there was a problem using non-physical files as welcome files. But this was fixed I think by Tomcat 5.
