I'm still puzzled with the welcome files. Can't really get it to work.

My main starting page is:

http://localhost:8183/index.html


If I try to access the above URL everything works. If I instead try to
access:

http://localhost:8183


I get HTTP status 403. If I try to access:

http://localhost:8183/


then it changes the URL by removing the trailing "/" and returns 403.

If I try to access

http://localhost:8183/admin


Then I get back:

http://localhost:8183/index.html


If I try to access

http://localhost:8183/admin/


then I get 403.

It doesn't make any sense at all to me. I get the same result regardless if
I manually register welcome files as follows:

mWebService.registerWelcomeFiles(new String[] { "index.html" }, false,
> mHttpContext);


..or if I just go with the default which I believe is "index.html" and
"index.jsp".

How should this work?

Our public site will be mapped to a DNS name (say http://x.y.z) and it is
important that if the user specifies http://x.y.z s/he should get
http://x.y.z/index.html.

This seems very strange to me.
