David Jencks commented on GERONIMO-4647:
----------------------------------------
Could you provide the information that determines what you expect this url to
get mapped to, such as a servlet mapping? Are any resource files involved? A
small sample app would be ideal.
IIRC what worked in tomcat was a servlet mapping generated by the jsp
precompilation that mapped welcome.jsp to the compiled jsp servlet. This
worked even when the source jsp file was removed. In jetty the source file had
to be present anyway.

> Key: GERONIMO-4647
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4647
> Project: Geronimo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: web
> Affects Versions: 2.1.4
> Environment: JRE 1.5.0_06, Windows XP
> Reporter: Bobby Lawrence
>
> 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.
