supposing for http://xyz/abc i want to goto an action and display
someresults, the following works for me.
the following welcome-file-list is needed otherwise, it doesnot work. i get
a 404 error.
web.xml
<welcome-file-list><welcome-file>index.cm</welcome-file></welcome-file-list>
config.xml
<!-- Display Index Page -->
<action path="/index"
name="indexPage"
type="com.cm.action.IndexPageAction">
<forward name="success" path="/server.jsp"/>
</action>
hope this helps.
ramakrishna.
