After trying both suggestions (moving welcome file list to end of web.xml and adding the 2.4 schema to the web tag), it still did not work. I tried changing the web.xml in the tomcat\conf directory, it still did not work. I removed index.html from my directory and it started displaying the directory. Finally I had the idea of creating an empty file called mypage.do (same name as my welcome file) and things started to work. I then reset everything back to how it started, welcome-file-list at top of web.xml & not 2.4 schema, and it still works.
So in a nutshell in order for welcome page mechanism to server up a servlet, a file must exist in the directory, even thou it is never used. I don't know enough about security to comment on Jonathans concern. Thanx for y'alls help, I appreciate it.
