6.6.8.0.13: Assembly properties for welcome files

A Welcome file is an entry-point file (for example, index.html) for a group of related HTML files. Welcome files are located by using a group of suggested partial URIs. A Welcome file is an ordered list of partial URIs that the container uses to attempt to find a valid file when the initial URI cannot be found. The container appends these partial URIs to the requested URI to arrive at a valid URI. For example, the user can define a Welcome file of index.html so that a request to a URL such as host:port/webapp/directory (where directory is a directory entry in the WAR file that is not mapped to a servlet or JSP file) can be fulfilled.

Welcome file (Required, String)
The Welcome file list is an ordered list of partial URLs with no trailing or leading slash characters (/). The Web server appends each file in the order specified and checks whether a resource in the WAR file is mapped to that request URI. The container forwards the request to the first resource in the WAR that matches.
