A welcome document is the document that is invoked mechanically with the aid of using the server, in case you do not specify any document name.

By default server appears for the welcome document in following order:

  2. index.html
  3. index.htm
  4. index.jsp

If none of those documents are found, then the server renders a 404 error.
