Hi, which ide and server are you working with?
If the server is tomcat, search the following tag in web.xml file in the config directory where you have the tomcat installed

Code:

<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

In the same directory but in the sever xml, specifies the port, in this case 8080
if you use eclipse as ide click with right button on project web-> properties --> tomcat --> context name this context name appears in directions bar of your browser, don't write nothing.
