Hi Simon We specify welcome file in web.xml file and not in struts-config.xml. Since the web server or app server doesnt hv any idea about struts config, putting a struts related action or file in web.xml will not help. What you can do is you can have a jsp as a welcome file which then redirects control to the action.
Hope this helps Shashank ----- Original Message ----- From: Simon Kelly To: Struts Users Mailing List Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 6:16 PM Subject: site root going straight to a .do Hi all, Sorry about the subject line, it's the best I can do in one sentance. What I'm trying to do, is set up the wecome file, so that instead of having to go via a html or jsp page, I can go straight to an action class! Any ideas? If someone types in htt://our.site.com/ourapp then it should go straight to the welcome.do Action and not a html file. I'm using struts1.1 and stxx.
