Jetty，Maven插件-如何配置默认文档？

Question

We're using Jetty 6.x, and Maven-2.

Anybody knows how to configure the default document?

I mean - there's a default that serves /index.html or any of it's equivalents when accessing the application root (browse to / ).

And there should be a settings to control that. (there is in tomcat and in IIS for example...)

So 1 - how do I tell it to Jetty?

I know the Jetty guys are proud in letting almost everything to be configured - there has to be a way to do that, it's just a problem of a poor documentation, that's what my instinct tells me.

And 2 - how do I do that using Maven plugin ?

This is actually a "bonus" question, if you only tell me how to do it with Jetty - I hope'll find eventually how to do it with Maven too. But in case anybody knows - it will be a great help :)

Answer 1

Ok, I found it. It has nothing to do with Jetty or Maven , although I'm sure that Jetty can provide it's own overrider configuration or defaults or something.

It was hard to find because they don't call it default document , but welcome-files . It's a part of the JSP Servlet deffinitions, and is working with the file: /META-INF/web.xml

And here's what needs to be inside

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"

    <welcome-file>customDefaultDocument.html</welcome-file>
