Don't know exactly what issue you are having, but I've found that servlet-mapping 
settings _don't_ seem to be inherited from the
global web.xml file.

Try adding explicit mappings for *.jsp to your apps web.xml as follows:

   <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

For static content, like HTML, map it to the default servlet

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

NOTE: You do _not_ have to redeclare the servlets with a <serlvet> call, just the 
mapping.

QUESTION: For the list--why do I have to restate the Servlet-Mappings in my Webapp's 
own web.xml ? according to the documentation,
all settings should be inherited from the global web.xml in CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml 
???
