First of all as I think you shouldn't provide direct access to user for your admin folder. Rather than doing this you can do mapping for all jsp pages in admin folder. If this is a simple application without any framework you can simply configure all jsp pages in web.xml to map against appropriate urls. In case of using frameworks like struts you can use modules configuration.

As per your question try this.

<welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
    <welcome-file>login.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
