eclipse dynamic web project - default start page
1) How can I change the default page ?
=> change welcome file list in web.xml. Change to your desired filename whichever you are using.
2) can I put in default page asp file ?
=> you can change extension to asp, but you need servlet mapping in web.xml. But if you are talking about Microsoft ASP pages
, I think you won't be able to add them as per my knowledge as both(jsp and asp) resides under different technologies

</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>GrettingServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/greetings.asp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
Here you will make request to GreetingServlet
using url http://localhost:8080/myapp/greetings.asp
In web.xml (under TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/you_application) you have this:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>default.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>default.htm</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>default.jsp</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>/axis2-web/index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
change to your new file name
Few things to check.
1) Servlet mapping extension in web.xml
2) Welcome file definition in web.xml
Make sure there extension & name are as you changed.
web.xml
will be inside WEB-INF
folder.
