The change was as a result of bug 22108.

The example web app was trying to do two things:
 - be an 'normal' web app with an index page
 - be an example of a working webdav directory

Essentially, there isn't a configuration for servlet mapping that enables both
of the above to work reliably across a range of clients. The example has been
configured so webdav always works. The welcome file list is over-ridden by the
servlet mapping so there is no point setting one. The upshot of this is that a
request for / will show a directory listing rather than the index page.
