Joar is right, if there is a list it will go through the list until it
finds the first match.  Also, make sure you have the <welcome-file> tag
within a <welcome-file-list> tag, so it should look like the following:

<welcome-file-list>
  <welcome-file>welcome.html</welcome-file>
  <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
  <welcome-file>home.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file-list>

Don't forget that each web app has it's own web.xml file and you want to
put it in the appropriate file.
