simple jsp problem.

[Compiler]

I have my jsp page located at
/install/apache-tomcat-5.5.29/webapps/jsp-examples/light/login.jsp

There fore i will have to use following url to access it.
http://localhost:8080/jsp-examples/light/login.jsp

How would i make this little shorter like.
http://localhost:8080/login.jsp.

I m using apache tomcat server 5.5.29.

put login.jsp directly under webapps

if its a landing page for an application, then use relative paths for redirection, so that u can keep login.jsp under webapps

AFAIK, this cannot be achieved. You have to deploy some web app (jsp-examples) in your case. The most you can do is give it some fancy name (rename the folder). You could do away with the folder light though. Just move your login.jsp one level up. You would then have the URL as:

http://localhost:8080/MyFancyApp/login.jsp

keep it under ROOT and it shud be running without any app requirement .. then u can access it directly as :

http://localhost:8080/your_jsp_name.jsp

Sorry for the earlier confusion ..
