Make sure it's in your aplication directory and not the one in the conf

Better yet, could someone please send me a functioning copy of web.xml
that sits
in the WEB-INF directory of your context and that loads index.jsp as a
default
file for that context.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I looked at the web.xml which I copied from TOMCAT_HOME/conf and it
complies
with the dtd that it refers to on the Sun site:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd
I'm still trying to get tomcat to load index.jsp when I hit the context
directory. No luck yet.
A few questions:
1)
This web.xml defines a couple of servlets:
- default (servlet mapping /servlet/*)
- invoker (servlet mapping /*.jsp)
Do I need these, if this is already defined in server.xml?
2)
Should I define index.jsp as a servlet. If so, what should the value be
for :
- load-on-startup
- servlet-class
3)
Should I define all the mime types within each context or is this
unnecessary?
Can I remove these tags?
4)
My welcome-file-list tag is ok with only one child
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>.
I apologize if there's documentation about this and I missed it.
Thanks,
suha.
The web.xml file also contains a long list

You might want to make sure that the xml complies with the dtd
found in TOMCAT_HOME/conf/. If these items are out of order
then they are ignored at server startup. In this case it's the
server ignoring the welcome-file not the browser. And of course,
as mentioned before, make sure you are using the right ordering
for your welcom-file(s) if you have multiples.
