David Jencks commented on GERONIMO-4647:
----------------------------------------

AFAICT this patch has not been applied to any version of tomcat.  I'm not sure if we should apply it to our fork.

> When you specify welcome files in web.xml Geronimo throws 404 errors if the welcome file isn't a valid file resource.
> Values that are URL mappings to a servlet are ignored by the app server even through they are valid.
> This means that I can't have a welcome file of "/index.jsf" or "/index.do" or "/someservlet".
> The only welcome files that Geronimo seems to not throw a 404 Not Found error are actual files found in the web application.
