This is extract from my web.xml

The above makes your servlet the default servlet, so it'll handle all
requests that aren't handled by more specific url-patterns. The
welcome files won't be processed.
You could employ a Servlet Filter which analyses the requestURI and
forwards to your servlet, but that calls chain.doFilter(hreq, hres)
otherwise.
Hmm, I know why it doesnt work but i was hoping I could add something to
this file so that the servlet doesnt pickup index.html, is that not
possible.
Have you found any clues in the Servlet Spec, or the Tomcat docs that
indicate that it _is_ possible?

No, I try and stay away from config files as much as possible so Ive
just let the servlet hande it as follows:
//If they have entered nothing, redirect to them a home page (which is
on another server, my index.html just contained a redirect)
if(request.getParameterMap().size()==0)
{
response.sendRedirect(HOME_PAGE);
return;
}
The idea is that if they go this server without specifying any of the
reuired options they have probably gone to the wrong server so just send
them to the correct server
