Static items in WebService root folder?

[hfettig]

Hi Folks,

Just wondering if anybody knew whether it was possible to put a static item into the root folder of a web service.

Reason I am asking is that I would like to have my start page in the root of the webservice, i.e. http://webserver/webservice/index.html

I have no problems getting the file to be installed into that location but I don't know how to get the web server to allow access to that file.

When I try to set up a static URL mapping to "/" it does not allow it.

Of course I could always put the file into a sub directory but IMHO it would look cleaner sitting in the root.

Any ideas?
