i have index.jsp which is defined under welcome-file-list tag. here it goes

it has a forward action now the request is forwarded to contacts.html but in my application there is no contacts.html page under any directory but has a page contact.jsp under web-inf folder. when i run my application as a default it goes to welcome file page and now that it is forwarded to contacts.html page and since i don't have contacts.html it must show me an error right? but instead it is showing me contact.jsp page which is in web-inf folder.

web.xml file.
