Looks ok at first glance.

It's supposed to be a path relative to the context root. The path
must always begin with a "/" because context roots don't end with a
"/".
So if you have:
/context
/index.html
your code should work.
>2. Is there any settings on the server I need to fix?
Yes. In order to forward to an html you need something to be serving
the html file, often the default servlet is doing that. If you haven't
got a default servlet (something mapped to "/" within the webapp) then
you're doing something wrong.
Your nomrally get a default servlet (on Tomcat) by ensuring that
Tomcat's ROOT.war gets loaded as the default war file which your war
file overrides.
Check the logs to ensure that the default servlet is being loaded.
