To do your own default servlet, you need a mapping like the one for
"default" in conf/web.xml:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MyDefaultServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
This mapping sends anything that doesn't match any other mapping to
MyDefaultServlet. In particular, this usually means static content as well
(e.g. gif, jpeg, css, etc files), so your servlet has to be prepared to deal
with this case as well.
