I have some questions about when I should be using the following:
servletInfo.setRequireWelcomeFileMapping(true)
I can't find any documentation or comments in the code that help me answer exactly what that setting does and when to use it. I'm parsing a web.xml file and creating the proper deployment from it, but I'm unsure when to set the option above since there is no corresponding attribute or tag in a web.xml along those lines.
I did find this comment in a code sample online
//if the JSP servlet is mapped to a path that ends in /*
//we want to perform welcome file matches if the directory is requested
but my app server has more than one servlet mapping with URL filters ending with /* and the welcome file list should only apply to one of them so it doesn't seem correct that ALL url filters ending in /* should set that. I'm unclear on whether the welcome files are attempted up front or only if a matching url filter isn't found.
Thanks!
