The default servlet handles requests that don't map to some other
serlvet. This usually includes all static content and requests
that match directories. It is the resposibility of the default
servlet to serve these requests in a appropriate manner. The

resources and directory listings. If your default servlet doesn't
support this, you will lose this feature if you replace Tomcat's
default servlet.
