The default servlet for Tomcat is declared in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml : <servlet> <servlet-name>default</servle... Therefore, static content is rendered by the default configuration unless you override it with your own definitions. If you want to allow directory listing, just change the listing parameter to true : <init-param> <param-name>listings</para... Change the welcome-file-list to display a default page in lieu of a directory listing: <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>home.xhtml</... Welcome pages are defined at the Web application level.

1. mvc:default-servlet-handler Configures a handler for serving static resources by forwarding to the Servlet container's default Servlet. Use of this handler allows using a "/" mapping with the DispatcherServlet while still utilizing the Servlet container to serve static resources. HandlerMapping: org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping Handler: org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping Attribute Description default-servlet-name The name of the default Servlet to forward to for static resource requests. The handler will try to auto-detect the container's default Servlet at startup time using a list of known names. If the default Servlet cannot be detected because of using an unknown container or because it has been manually configured, the servlet name must be set explicitly. 2. mvc:view-controller Defines a simple Controller that selects a view to render the response. HandlerMapping: org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping Handler: org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.ParameterizableViewController Attribute Description...

These bean types are essential for the Spring MVC framework. I copied them here from the Spring Documentation for quick reference. Bean type Explanation HandlerMapping Maps incoming requests to handlers and a list of pre- and post-processors (handler interceptors) based on some criteria the details of which vary by HandlerMapping implementation. The most popular implementation supports annotated controllers but other implementations exists as well. HandlerAdapter Helps the DispatcherServlet to invoke a handler mapped to a request regardless of the handler is actually invoked. For example, invoking an annotated controller requires resolving various annotations. Thus the main purpose of a HandlerAdapter is to shield the DispatcherServlet from such details. HandlerExceptionResolver Maps exceptions to views also allowing for more complex exception handling code. ViewResolver Resolves logical String-based...

By default, tomcat uses an enhanced java.util.logging implementation called JULI, which can be configured at two different levels: Globally, with the ${catalina.base}/conf/logging.properties file. Per web application, with WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties . The configuration file is a normal Java properties file: Logging handlers are specified with the handlers property. handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, ... The root logger can define its set of handlers using the .handlers property. .handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler,... A prefix may be added to handler names. The prefix starts with a digit and ends with a dot ( . ), for example: # 1catalina. is a prefix 1catalina.org.apache.j... System property replacement is performed for property values which contain ${systemPropertyName} . Each handler can have its own specific properties: 3manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINE ... Loggers can define their own...

Use the expand command to extract files from a .cab file: expand [-r] source [destination] [-d source.cab ... Option Description [-r] Renames expanded files. [destination] Specifies where files are to be expanded. If source is multiple files and -r is not specified, destination must be a directory. destination can consist of a drive letter and colon, a directory name, a file name, or a combination of any of these. [-d source.cab] Displays a list of files in the source location. Does not expand or extract the files. [-f:files] Specifies the files in a cabinet (.cab) file that you intend to expand. You can use wildcards (* and ?). source.cab Specifies the files to expand. source can consist of a drive letter and colon, a directory...

This is a simple example to demonstrate the templating power of JSF facelets. If you've used struts tiles before, you'll recognize the simplicity of templating with facelets. I've stripped out everything else except the pages themselves, just to put our focus on facelets. This is a Maven based project, and you need Tomcat (or any servlet container) to run the resulting webapp. To begin with this is the list of files: ./pom.xml ./src/main/webapp/home.xhtml ./src... I left faces-config.xml in there for completeness sake, it may not be needed. The Maven POM ( pom.xml ): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project...
