Bobby Lawrence commented on GERONIMO-4647:
------------------------------------------
the point is, you don't have to name your JSP pages with a ".jsf" suffix.
According to the JSF specification, the default suffix for extension-mapped JSF
resources is ".jsp".
What if I wanted a Struts action to be the default welcome page? My welcome
file would have a ".do" extension.
Or how about a custom servlet? My welcome file would be "/someservlet" or
something...
Is this a Tomcat issue? Perhaps I have opened a case for the incorrect
project...

> 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
> Attachments: sampleapp.war

>
> 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.
