I haven't tested this but it could get you going... Umesh.

If all you want to do is "forward" any requests to http://www.xxx.com/ to a servlet you can create an index.html file with the following: HTML HEAD <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="1; URL=/servlets/Store"> TITLE[INSERT TITLE HERE]/TITLE /HEAD <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"> /BODY /HTML ==================================================================== Just replace "/servlets/Store" with the servlet you want to "forward" to. Clean, simple solution. Works greate. KISS.

Your examples below were correct, but there was some additional changes I had to make. Since I statically compiled in the modules I had to make sure that mod_jserv appearred *ABOVE* (<-- very important) mod_rewrite in modules.c This wasn't the default from how Configure created modules.c Then I had to make sure that the JServ stuff appearred before the rewrite stuff in the configuration file. I'm still of the opinion that mod_rewrite is voodoo magic... I've got to get a book on regular expression and really learn them. That one class back in college just doesn't make ya an expert!
