title: Tomcat7 open index.html from directory
body: <p>I have webapp in JSF2, something like
  <em>mywebdomain.com/mywebsite/portal/index.xhtml</em></p>
  
  <p>Now I need to add an admin interface, I have created admin folder and this is working well
  <em>mywebdomain.com/mywebsite/portal/admin/index.xhtml</em></p>
  
  <p>Users of this application will certainly not remember this URL, so <strong>I want to create "shortcut"</strong></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><a href="http://mywebdomain.com/mywebsite/admin" rel="nofollow">http://mywebdomain.com/mywebsite/admin</a></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>In this folder is a plain index.html with</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=/mywebsite/portal/admin/index.xhtml" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>BUT...</strong> when I type <a href="http://mywebdomain.com/mywebsite/admin" rel="nofollow">http://mywebdomain.com/mywebsite/admin</a>, <strong>Tomcat7 shows</strong>
  HTTP Status 404 - /mywebsite/admin/
  ...
  description The requested resource (/mywebsite/admin/) is not available.</p>
  
  <p><strong>So is there a way how to create this "shortcut"?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance :)</p>
