Synopsis: 
Welcome-file tag fails

Description:
Unable to change the default page for a web site.

I added the following lines to web.xml
  <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>techsupp.html</welcome-file>
  </welcome-file-list>

I then restart tomcat and apache and loaded my web browers using URL = "http://localhost/tech". I get a directory list displayed in the web browers.

If I select the file techsupp.html the file is loaded and display.

I search the each file in jakarata/conf directory for the techsupp.html and did not find any occurs of this file being references.

I then found in context.java where tomcat was building a list of welcome files using addWelcomeFile method of the context object. But did not find any object calling getWelcomeFiles method of the context object.
