CF9 & built-in web server: Change default documents?

Hello, everyone.

I'm just curious if there is a way to change the default documents in CF9 built-in web server?

I know that in IIS the default documents are default.htm, default.html, index.htm, index.html, home.htm, etc. You can change their priority, remove them, add to them.

Can the same be done in CF9 built-in web server? I've tried Google-ing for it, but I'm not finding anything on the subject.

UPDATE: Op! I may have stumbled across the answer. I'll let you know if it works.

Thank you,

I edited two .xml files, and it works.

I wanted to add "frameset.cfm" and push it to the top.

[drv]\ColdFusion10\cfusion\runtime\conf\web.xml

[drv]\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot\WEB-INF\web.xml

MAKE A BACKUP OF ANY FILE(S) YOU EDIT, FIRST!

Locate (at/near the bottom of each file) the section that looks like:

<welcome-file-list>

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

...

</welcome-file-list>

Add "<welcome-file>YourFilenameHere.ext</welcome-file>" for each that you want to add. Put the first one you want chosen at the top of the list, etc.

Restart CF Server. Voila.
