title: welcome-file-list not working in jetty + spring
body: <p>I'm using Jetty 8.1.4 with Spring 3.2.4. Following is my web.xml file. I have an index.html file under WEB-INF and I want that page to be hit when I do <a href="http://myapp.com/" rel="nofollow">http://myapp.com/</a> or simple <a href="http://myapp.com" rel="nofollow">http://myapp.com</a> but I'm getting 404. If I do <a href="http://myapp.com/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://myapp.com/index.html</a> it works. I'm not sure what I'm missing. Also, I'm bit confused if I must use / or /* in the url-pattern below, I tried both.</p>
