           Summary: webapps/ROOT/index.jsp is shadowed by servlet
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.9
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Webapps:Examples
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


webapps/ROOT/index.jsp is shadowed by servlet:
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>org.apache.jsp.index_jsp</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.apache.jsp.index_jsp</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>org.apache.jsp.index_jsp</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/index.jsp</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

This means that you can modify index.jsp but you won't see any change, because
the path "/index.jsp" is redirected in web.xml.  Me and a co-worker just lost
half an hour to this thing, trying to figure out where our redirection went.

If you're going to keep "/index.jsp" in a servlet, fine, rename the index.jsp
file to index.jsp.example.  But having it shadowed is incredibly user-hostile.
