Encountering a Geoserver - Openlayer WFS layer not visible I found this interesting answer . Solution about html page on the server surprised me very much as I tried previously to load an html page from the jetty geoserver without any success, encountering always a "HTTP ERROR: 404 NOT_FOUND RequestURI=/web/ws3.html" Of course, I tried several other places on my http://localhost:8080/geoserver.

Can someone confirm that its possible to load any html page from geoserver, and if a special configuration is required to reach this status ?

Thanks very much,

Olivier

You can serve html files in GeoServer by placing them in the www subdirectory in your GeoServer's data directory. 

data_directory/
   global.xml
   logging.xml
   wms.xml
   wfs.xml
   wcs.xml
   data/
   demo/
   geosearch/
   gwc/
   layergroups/
   palettes/
   plugIns/
   security/
   styles/
   templates/
   user_projections/
   workspaces
   www/

You can then access access those files (ws3.html in this example) by going to http://localhost:8080/geoserver/www/ws3.html
