Reading welcome files from a servlet

[Mario Maestro]

Hi,

I need to get the list of welcome files (as specified in web.xml) from
within a servlet. I'm afraid I need to parse the XML: does anyone know a
better method?

Thanks
M.M.

What's wrong with loading the web.xml in a DOM object and applying an XPath
expression ? It looks pretty straightforward.
