Newbie question regarding index page

[hrishikesh rajpathak]

Hi,

I was trying to create a Google App Engine code using the Eclipse and
the plugin for it. I created the project as given on the "Getting
started" page. I edited the auto generated index page started the
server. All other setting were the default settings. What I realized
is the call directly went to the servlet and not the index page.

To be more specific, it displayed the "Hello world" content of the
servlet.

I am new to the all this (including servlets and jsp) so bare with me.
My understanding is it should first go to the index page and then
either through some action(or onload if specifically mentioned) it
should navigate to other pages or servlet.

Any idea why it directly navigates to the servlet?

Hi,
Did you define a welcome file?

Yes I did. I dont know what the problem was but it worked fine after
restarting Eclipse! Weird solution but works most of the time.
