  You will do much better asking a Tomcat-specific question on the TOMCAT-USER mailing list, rather than here.  To save duplicated work, I will answer here this time, and cross-post to TOMCAT-USER so it shows up in the message archives. 
  Historically, the most common problems getting welcome files to work have been: 

  * Not following the required syntax of the web.xml file. 

  * Trying to run Tomcat behind Apache - Apache does not 
    read the web.xml file, so you will need to use httpd.conf 
    directives (DirectoryIndex) to emulate this. 

  Without more details about what you are doing, it is impossible to be more specific.
