Answer 1

Try to replace

<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>

with

<welcome-file>app/index.html</welcome-file>

Answer 2

I am assuming that you have any InternalResourceViewResolver configured. You have to make 2 changes. 1. Change welcome-file in web.xml like below

<welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>app/src/index.html</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>`

2. change dispatcher-servlet.xml or whatever configuration file you have like below <mvc:resources mapping="/app/src/**" location="/app/src/"/> <mvc:default-servlet-handler />

You can google for annotations for above configuration if you are having annotation based configuration.
