This was triggered by fixing bug47378 which implemented a spec mandated
requirement for welcome file mapping. This has its issues - see that bug report
and the linked Jetty discussion for details.
The upshot is that welcome files are inherited from Tomcat's default web.xml
and include index.jsp. Tomcat is (correctly as per the spec) matching the
index.jsp welcome file to the JSP servlet which in turn is returning a 404 to
the user since index.jsp doesn't exist.
I have doubled checked the Servlet 3.0 spec wording on welcome files and I
believe Tomcat is spec complaint here.
I hate to bounce this one back to Hudson, but I think fixing this is going to
require a change to Hudson. The simplest change is to switch the mapping to
"/*" rather than "/". This effectively bypasses the welcome file process and
ensures *all* requests are mapped to the desired servlet.
Alternative options include:
- requiring users to remove any global welcome files
- setting an empty set of welcome files in Hudson's web.xml
Since the desired behaviour is to map everything to the Stapler servlet and not
use use welcome files then I would recommend switching to a mapping of "/*"
since that will always bypass any welcome file settings as is desired in this
case.
I am closing this as invalid since Tomcat is implementing the spec correctly
here.
