I know there has to be a simple answer to this, but Google’s not helping at the moment. I’ve got a dynamic web project in Eclipse which is using Java/Jersey to run a web service. All my java resources are called in a URI like projectname/test/statistics, etc. for different resources. My hangup is on a relatively simple point:
How do I include an HTML file in this project?
I’m planning to have this file as a sort of ‘home page’, in order to handle logins, etc. I’d like the URI to be something like projectname/ or projectname/login, but I can’t seem to find where I can define the path to reference the HTML file. Is there something I need to add to the HTML itself, or is it a setting in the Eclipse project?

Update:
Soo… I still can’t run my html file through eclipse. What I have to do right now is deploy a war to Tomcat without the html, then put the html file in a completely separate folder to run it. This means that I have to type a different context root whenever I call my file.

    My workaround:
    Since I haven’t been able to get this working directly in Eclipse, I’ve been placing my html page manually in the directory where my service is deployed to Tomcat. Placing it in the ROOT folder lets me hit the page at localhost:8080/login.html, and I can deploy it to other folders, say Test, to hit it at localhost:8080/Test/login.html, but due to my security settings (at the moment), I cannot place it in the same folder as the rest of my deployed project.
