this is how it does NOT work:
--------- index-config.xml ----------
<struts-config>
    ...
    <global-forwards>
        <forward name="indexHome" contextRelative="true" path="index.do"
redirect="true"/>
    </global-forwards>
    ...
</struts-config>
--------- end ---------
many thanks,

I think you're confused on the meaning of contextRelative. 
contextRelative means to interpret the path relative to the web 
application root, not the module root.  So in your second example, the 
forward named 'indexHome' will attempt to find /index.do, not 
/index/index.do as the first example.
