Display informative text when user connects to http://<HOSTNAME>:8080/connector-manager/ instead of HTTP Status 404

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Deploy the connector manager
2. Type the URL: http://<HOSTNAME>:8080/connector-manager/
3. HTTP Status 404 is returned which gives the impression that the 
connector manager has not been installed OR has problems

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The connector Manager should return an informative response like the one 
displayed for /testConnectivity

In past customers have reported the above and requested to display some 
informative text to ensure that the connector service is up and running. 
Not many customers go through the entire documentation to know that there 
is a /testConnectivity feature available to test the same.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
All 1.x versions

Please provide any additional information below.

I just tested a simple static index.html page in the root directory 
(/webapps/connector-manager) and it is 
returned by this URL. We could include a links to the main connector 
documentation page and the 
testConnectivity servlet, or use an index.jsp to include or redirect to the 
testConnectivity servlet.

As an alternative, we could redirect to the /testConnectivity URL (using HTML 
or JSP) using one of the 
following:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=testConnectivity" />

<jsp:forward page="/testConnectivity" />

<% response.sendRedirect("testConnectivity"); %>
