Hi, thanks for the reply, i read the discusion on bug and related ones, 
and  get conclusion to create a servlet and define a extension point for 
it, this servlet will make the redirection, i try it soon as posible, 
i'm very sorprising that the web.xml descriptor are ignored for welcome 
pages, i will surf a bit more in equinox servlet bridge to figure what 
this happen.

Excuse my litle description, i mean the ?locale=es parameter that can be 
added to infocenter URL to switch it locale, for example i'm a spanish 
guy my browser locale is es_ES, but documentation not always is 
avaliable or is out of date in spanish, and i fall back to english, so 
let the users to change this easy will be great for centric infocenter, 
so i try to implement it on upper banner with a locale selection based 
on locales configured in eclipse help base.

A lot of thanks for your reply, this stupid think tell me more 
headdache, and i can't realy fin it on bug serarch.
