You can't bind to "/" using DMF because DMF operates by allowing the request
to go through and then looking for a 404 from the container before it
forwards to the ActionBean (if one is bound to the requested path).
Therefore, if you bind to "/" *all* of your 404 errors will get routed
through your ActionBean instead of the error handler you've configured. So
yes, you should add a "/index.jsp" that forwards to your ActionBean, which
is bound to something other than "/".

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
