application server 8.1 alternative for Setting the Document Preferences
hi All,
I used to do the following under application server 7 to set the Document preferences:
To use the Administration interface to set the document preferences, follow these steps:
1. In the left pane, for the application server instance, open HTTP Server.
2. Open Virtual Servers.
3. Click the name of the virtual server you want to edit.
4. Click the Doc Handling tab.
5. Click Doc Preferences.
6. Choose the appropriate field values, as discussed in the following sections.
7. Click OK.
I need to do the same thing in application server 8.1 how can i do that?
What is the alternative procedure?
I want to have multiple indexes under the same instance which hosts multiple applications
Thanks,
Scotty

Hi,
I urgently need the help if any of you can provide me with the answer to my previous post.
You can take into consideration the example below to what i really want to achieve.
ex:
Each application has its own virtual server. Each virtual server should have its own index.html for redirection.
I need to point each virtual server to its corresponding index.html
I appreciate any post help
Regards,
Scotty

All of those things with appserver 8.x can be done by modifying instance's domain.xml and default-web.xml files.
Some things can be done via GUI: instance-config-->HTTP Service-->Virtual Servers-->Server.
You should check appserver 8.x docs to get a better idea on how things changed in 8.x.

Hi,
Well what i found from docs is the following:
A default web module can be assigned to the default virtual server and to each new virtual server in application server 8.1 A virtual server with no default web module assigned, serves HTML or JSP content from its document root.
But what i am seeking is to point the virtual server to my configured index.html page.. Can you please more precise and point me how to do that.
Thanks a bunch,
Scotty

hi,
Can anyone please guide me to the correct solution?
I have a project and i dont know whether i am stepping right?
I read in the docs about "welcome-file-list" that is found in the default-web.xml file and it pointed that i can design my application's web.xml to include "welcome-file-list" to point to my customized index.html
If this is the case, then how can i point my browser to the server is it by the context root only?
Your quick reply is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Scotty
