I didn't seen anything that didn't look correct in the web.xml snippet you
provided.
One thing to check is the chains-config.xml. If you are using the
ContextRelativePathFilter
to prevent direct access to resources, make sure that "/S*\.html" is added to
the includes
attribute list.

When you are using clay full html views exclusively, the entry point to the
page
needs to be a html file. This means that you don't have a pseudo page
definition
like in tiles. You can do this sort of thing with clay's full XML views as the
page
entry point usecase symbols example (page1 & page2).
What you need in your example is for the welcome.html page to be a generic
entry
point that pulls a layout in and overrides the body using a symbol (the
page3.html
symbols use cases example).
So in your example you might want to call the welcome.html template
welcomeBody.html.
And, then add a welcome.html entry point template that pulls it all togather.
welcome.html example:
<html jsfid="baseLayout"
bodyContent="/welcomeBody.html"
allowBody="false">
<head><title>Mock Header</title></head>
<body>The entire document is replaced by the layout.</body>
</html>
The bodyContent attribute in the html node becomes a symbol that overrides
the @bodyContent in the layout.
>And when I go to http//localhost:8080/test/welcome.html I get a 500, page
>cannot be found [welcome.html]. I have it under the web root pages dir and

The 500 response code indicates that there was a server error. Check the
server logs for more information on the exception.
