Is that the only bad thing about it. The reason I'm asking is because the
servlet that I'm wanting to map is the one that generates all the web
pages. So if someone goes to http://www.myserver.com I want that to call
this servlet that will generate a default web page. Namely the front page
to our web site. But if someone types
http://www.myserver.com/servlet/pageservlet it also takes them to this
servlet that's also the default. Then I don't want it to interfere with
other mappings like manager and any other servlets that I create. I don't
really mind if it defaults all unknown request to the default that is a
servlet. Also, the mapping you show, is that in the web app or in the
/conf/web.xml for the server?


Thank You,

Setting the default servlet is really easy.  You just specify:
<servlet>
  <servlet-name>myservlet</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>myservlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>myservlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

The problem is that this is almost certainly not what you want.  This will
invoke 'myservlet' for any URL that doesn't match any other servlet-mapping
(including static-content).

It looks like you want to have your welcome-file specified as a Servlet.
This is only currently supported in Tomcat 3.3.2-dev (aka nightly), and
Tomcat 5.x.
