Yes, you can't use a .do action for the welcome pages. This is because web.xml
is "lower" down than the struts stuff. The web.xml also configures the strust
controller servlet to intercept anything ending with .do. If you think about
this you can understand how, at the web.xml leve, there's no meaning to the .do
yet. The "best practice" is to put an index page that contains only a redirect
to your first struts action ( your entry point, logon.do or something like that
)

Subject: RE: A couple of simple questions
Asking again - thanks - dave-----Original Message-----Hi;1) I want my default
page to be index.do so I set the following in web.xml: <welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.do</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list>But instead I
get a directory of files in my root when I go to the servlet.I can do this
which works: <welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.txt</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list>It appears it
wants a file. Not an issue (see item 2) but just wanted toknow what is going
on.2) My main page is a frameset. I tried having that be a do/jsp but when
Ipressed refresh on the browser, it went back to the start page. So I made ita
html file and the three frames are .do urls. This works fine, I'm justasking if
this is the best way to do this.3) I need to have a method called when my
servlet first loads. Is alistener the best way to do this?Thanks -
