Name
<welcome-file-list>
Synopsis
A welcome
file
is a file that the container serves when it receives a request URI
that identifies a directory as opposed to a web page or a servlet.
The <welcome-file-list> element can define
an ordered list of files to look for in the directory and serve if
present:
<welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file> <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file> <welcome-file>default.html</welcome-file> <welcome-file>default.htm</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list>
When a directory entry request is received that doesn’t match a servlet mapping, the container appends each welcome filename in the order specified in the deployment descriptor to the request URI and checks whether a resource in the WAR is mapped to the new URI. If it is, the request is forwarded to the resource. If no matching resource is found, the behavior is container-dependent. The container may, for instance, return a directory listing or an HTTP 404 status code (Not Found).
