/** Welcome Filter
 * This filter can be used to server an index file for a directory 
 * when no index file actually exists (thus the web.xml mechanism does
 * not work).
 * 
 * This filter will dispatch requests to a directory (URLs ending with /)
 * to the welcome URL determined by the "welcome" init parameter.  So if
 * the filter "welcome" init parameter is set to "index.do" then a request
 * to "/some/directory/" will be dispatched to "/some/directory/index.do" and
 * will be handled by any servlets mapped to that URL.
 *
 * Requests to "/some/directory" will be redirected to "/some/directory/".
