[undertow-dev] Welcome file does not seem to work with default servlet and /

[Ron Leisti]

Thank you Tomaz; I'll try the wildfly list.

In my case I am not setting a mapping on "/".  That mapping is being
created automatically by Undertow to its DefaultServlet, which is good
because that servlet is responsible for serving static resources.  However,
it also seems to ignore the welcome files.
