index.jsp not showing as initial page
<p>I am creating a Java REST web service. For some reason the startup page index.jsp is giving me a HTTP Status 404 - Not Found error. My index.jsp is in the web folder. My web.xml contains</p>

<pre><code>&lt;welcome-file-list&gt;
&lt;welcome-file&gt;index.jsp&lt;/welcome-file&gt;
&lt;/welcome-file-list&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>It also contains</p>

<pre><code>&lt;servlet-mapping&gt;
    &lt;servlet-name&gt;Jersey&lt;/servlet-name&gt;
    &lt;url-pattern&gt;/*&lt;/url-pattern&gt;
&lt;/servlet-mapping&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I noticed that when I remove the servlet mapping the index page works. But I need that mapping. I have been reading similar posts but couldn't find an answer to my question. Would appreciate any help. Thank you. </p>
