Yoav is correct, but I believe that the following sordid hack will work in
TC 4.x:
1) In your web.xml file create a servlet-mapping something like:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MyWelcomeServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/index.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
2) Stick a zero length file called 'index.html' at
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myapp/.
3) Make certain that there is no file named 'index.jsp' at
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myapp/ (or re-order your welcome-pages).
