I don't completely understand the issue(s), but consider this, <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>BooServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/*.boo</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> <welcome-file>index.boo</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> Is the problem that by the time the 'welcome file logic' gets a chance to handle the request, the logic that would have been able to pass this request off to a servlet is way too far up the call stack? It is almost like the DefaultServlet would need to open a connection to the loopback and check each "welcome file" URI to find one that gets to something useful (this is just a mental exercise, don't get excited I wouldn't think of implementing this.)
