title: jsp welcome file not called
body: <p>I have a JSP web application deployed to tomcat. The url of the application is <a href="http://servername/app" rel="nofollow">http://servername/app</a></p>
  
  <p>The web.xml contains welcome-file-list as below.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
      &lt;web-app id="mobile" version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"&gt;
          &lt;welcome-file-list&gt;
              &lt;welcome-file&gt;index.jsp&lt;/welcome-file&gt;
          &lt;/welcome-file-list&gt;
      &lt;/web-app&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, when we access <a href="http://servername/app" rel="nofollow">http://servername/app</a> the application is not accessible. But, if we access the url as <a href="http://servername/app/" rel="nofollow">http://servername/app/</a>, then the application is accessible.</p>
  
  <p>I need the application to be application without the trialing / character.</p>
  
  <p>Please help!</p>
