I had to do the exact same thing for one of my apps. So I just did a <logic:forward> to my starting action in a file called index.jsp. Then in the welcome-file-list I put the index.jsp file. It's not clean, but it works.

So, "/index.do" won't work. K.C. Affan Qureshi wrote: >Have you tried configuring the <welcome-file-list> in web.xml.
