Steps to Reproduce:

Hide

1. Create a WAR containing a servlet, filter and web.xml file as follows:
1a. The servlet declared with @WebServlet("/index.html")
1b. The filter declared with @WebFilter("/")
1c. The web.xml containing:

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

2. Deploy the WAR to a Wildfly instance
3. Launch the WAR's root path, eg: http://localhost:8080/path-to-war/

Expect to see output from the servlet, but instead get "Forbidden"

If you remove the Filter, then you get the output from the servlet.
