------------------------------------

It is worth noting that this same spec violation was observed and resolved in Glassfish.

> Welcome files that correspond to a servlet-mapping are ignored.  As an example, add a welcome file "index.jsf" and map "*.jsf" to the faces servlet.  The welcome file will not be served when navigating to the folder.  
> This is not in accordance with the Servlet 3.0 specification (Section 10.10):
> {quote}
> ... the Web server MUST again append each welcome file in the order specified in the deployment descriptor to the partial request and check if a servlet is mapped to that request URI.
> {quote}
> As an example of this in practice, refer to one of the many stackoverflow questions on the subject:
