Running the legacy app in Tomcat or Glassfish

When I try to run the initial application in a server, either Tomcat or Glassfish, I get a 404 error, resource not found. It's looking for http://localhost:7865/app/index.html. Is this intentional?

What is looking for that URL? It should deploy and I suspect it should be port 8080 instead of what you have now. But if I recall correctly (it has been a while I looked at this) there is nothing setting the port to 7865.

There is only a redirect in the index.jsp which redirects to /app/index.html. Which could be problematic as it redirects to the ROOT / and not the current context.

Could you try changing the content of index.jsp to

<% response.sendRedirect(request.getContextPath() + "/app/index.html"); %>

When doing this webinar I deployed the app as the root application and not a specific URL. This should fix that.

Cheers for that. I got to roughly the same place by a different path. Simply:

<% response.sendRedirect("app/index.html"); %>

But yours is more elegant and robst

While doing the demo I was running the app as / so it didn't matter. You might also want to check the different .jsp files as those don't use a full path either.
