title: index.jsp file opens even when the <welcome-file-list> is not defined
body: <p>I've written a simple dynamic web project in Eclipse Luna. In web.xml page I've removed the default <code>welcome-file-list</code> tag. </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
  &lt;web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0"&gt;
    &lt;display-name&gt;indextest&lt;/display-name&gt;
  &lt;/web-app&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the url <a href="http://localhost:8080/indextest/" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:8080/indextest/</a> still directs to <code>index.jsp</code> under 'WEB-INF' even after I've removed the tag <code>welcome-file-list</code> from <code>web.xml</code>. How it directs to <code>index.jsp</code> page though <code>welcome-file-list</code> is absent in <code>web.xml</code>?</p>
