You'll need a physical file called index.jspf as a "placeholder" for the action
to occur. The file placeholder can be 0 bytes if you want. Or you can write a
filter to detect a directory is requested and forward to index.jspf.
The reason for needing a physical file is the servlet container is to allow for
multiple welcome file types.
Imagine I had welcome files of index.jsp, then index.html, then index.htm.
Imagine I have a directory that is missing index.jsp, but has an index.html. If
I always tried to invoke index.jsp like the welcome file list says, then the
JSP servlet will return a 404 since there is no mechanism in the servlet api to
defer that decision.
IIRC - there are more discussions of this in the archives, but those talks are
REALLY old.
