title: How to change the start page of my web project?
body: <p>When i created a new project in eclipse, it automatically created for me an index.jsp page, i don't want the start page to be a .jsp, i want it to be a .xhtml 
  This is what i did at the web.xml:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;web-app version="3.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"&gt;
  &lt;servlet&gt;
      &lt;servlet-name&gt;Faces Servlet&lt;/servlet-name&gt;
      &lt;servlet-class&gt;javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet&lt;/servlet-class&gt;
      &lt;load-on-startup&gt;1&lt;/load-on-startup&gt;
  &lt;/servlet&gt;
  &lt;servlet-mapping&gt;
      &lt;servlet-name&gt;Faces Servlet&lt;/servlet-name&gt;
      &lt;url-pattern&gt;/*&lt;/url-pattern&gt;
  &lt;/servlet-mapping&gt;
  &lt;welcome-file-list&gt;
      &lt;welcome-file&gt;myStartPage.xhtml&lt;/welcome-file&gt;
  &lt;/welcome-file-list&gt;
  &lt;/web-app&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The above code does not allow me to see the page myStartPage.xhtml as the first page when i run the project in localhost. </p>
  
  <p>How should i modify this for the browser to display for me the start page.
  Also i dont want to use any url-pattern. Is that mandatory?(I tried removing that tag, but it did not build).</p>
