I posted in Tomcat forum and got this response - have not tested - posting here as-is, use at your own risk:
> If a file named index.jsp is declared as a welcome and it is not there in > the system, > tomcat does not allow failover to framework like Tapestry. It sounds like behaviour that can be controlled by "resourceOnlyServlets" option in <Context>, See http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html The current behaviour is caused by compatibility concerns with earlier versions of Tomcat. Read the doc for more details. > However, if a file named Bienvenue.jsp is declared as welcome file, the > failover is allowed. Unlikely. You have to provide specific example to confirm that. The above mentioned option could explain that as well. > However <welcome-file-list /> > is ignored and server picks up default values in > ${Tomcat.home}/conf/web.xml conf/web.xml is not just default. It is merged with app's web.xml using the rules for merging web fragments, as specified in the Servlet 3.0 Rev.a specification. If current behaviour contradicts with specification, please cite what point in merging algorithm is not followed.
