Display Java Sevlet. Welcome File List

In my web.xml file, I have this

<!-- WELCOME FILE LIST --> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>/index</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list>

What matches this

 <!-- SERVLET FOR THE HOME PAGE --> <servlet> <servlet-name>HomePageServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>com.gmustudent.HomePageServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>HomePageServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/index</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>

When I put this in the address bar, I get my homepage site, and the servlet captures all my content upon request.

 http://localhost:8086/gmustudent/index

However it gives me 404

 http://localhost:8086/gmustudent/

Why doesn't my welcome file list capture this welcome file servlet when the index is not explicitly specified?

gmustudent is the context root of your web application. index is the resource you want to get.

you configure the welcome file as shown below, remove the extra /:

 <welcome-file>Index</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list>

to access

  http://localhost:8086/gmustudent/
