    index.html will be given preference, but you can change this under welcome-file-list in web.xml.

    <welcome-file-list>
   <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
   <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
   <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

    In the event of a partial request, the above configuration will try index.jsp, then index.html, and then index.htm.
