Neither. You just specify a welcome file that will cause a servlet to
match.
eg:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>/testservlet</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
or if you have a JSP and an CGI servlet loaded:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>/index.jsp</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>/index.cgi</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
The reason for this is that the welcome file name is actually returned
as a redirect response to a client issuing a request for a blank
directory.
