Description Geertjan Wielenga 2005-03-01 10:28:35 UTC 
I can't browse for a servlet to be my Welcome
File, but the paragraphs "Servlets as Welcome
Files" in the link below says that it's possible
with 2.4/2.0/Tomcat5.x:

Comment 1 Milan Kuchtiak 2005-03-01 10:43:31 UTC 
Yes, I would qualify this as an enhancement.
There is a workaround to write the servlet mapping manually.
Comment 2 Geertjan Wielenga 2005-03-01 14:52:46 UTC 
OK. 

Please note that this issue is also applicable to error pages. In
other words, it should also be possible to select a servlet as an
error page.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
