Here's a trick to get an action to execute as home page in your webapp
without having to
do the jsp redirect.
Put a file called webapp.launch in the root directory of your webapp
Then configure these settings in your web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>redirector</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>yourpackage.Redirector</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>redirector</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.launch</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
package yourpackage;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
/**
* Redirector to start application on browse to root url
*
*/
public class Redirector extends HttpServlet {
/**
* Stub method
*/
public void destroy() {
}
/**
* Forward the user to start page of webapp
*
[EMAIL PROTECTED] request
[EMAIL PROTECTED] response
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ServletException
[EMAIL PROTECTED] IOException
*/
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
response.sendRedirect("home.do");
}
/**
* Description of the Method
*/
public void init() throws ServletException {
}
}

I can confirm that this hack works for tomcat. Create the dummy file
start/start.do and tomcat will be happy, and you will still get the
actual struts mapping.
