title: index.html not displaying for my WebApp (Tomcat 7 in Eclipse)
body: <p>I have Tomcat 7 with Servlet 3.0 running in Eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>Under my WEB-INF folder I placed two files, web.xml and index.html. The web.xml defines the welcome-file as index.html however when I go to</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://localhost:8080/WebApp/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get a 404.</p>
  
  <p>Strange thing is that I have a servlet defined as /login and when I go to</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://localhost:8080/WebApp/login
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can see and use the servlet (I can debug it and see my doGet() request)</p>
  
  <p>I have no idea why I cannot see the welcome file, It did work a while ago but I have made some changes since then, I changed how I connect to a database by setting up a Connection Pool as Tomcat starts but this shouldn't have affected much. Not quite sure where to look next, catalina.out gives no hints.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone see why my welcome file is not functioning as I want? Any help appreciated :)</p>
