Welcome file is not displayed correctly on hosting.

web.xml: 

  <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>

on local Tomcat:

http://localhost:8099/Teal-0.1-BETA/ is OK
equals to
http://localhost:8099/Teal-0.1-BETA/index.html is OK

on hosting:
http://domain/index.html is OK

http://domain/ is displayed non correctly

As I observed this is displayed not correctly too:

 http://domain/index.xhtml

I suspect web.xml config. Looks like problem in .html vs .xhtml extension.

Real file name is index.xhtml

    I think that the problem is that you use JSF, but Tomcat renders welcome-file only with JSP engine. That might have been adressed in newer tomcat (7.x) which you have locally, but server uses older Tomcat.

    But that’s just my guess. Still I don’t have much info.

    Either case, try setting a welcome page to a plain file with immediate redirection to /index.html . Or better, handle it in Apache (or whatever you have in front of Tomcat).
