Wes, Boy do I wish the client would just use Tomcat! I'll try going down the action route. I'm actually using index.html now, which is a real file that I can access if I type the whole URL: http://myserver/mycontext/index.html. If I understand what you are asking me to try, I will create a zero byte /webapp/index.action, change my Web.xml from:
<welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> to: <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.action</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> and add an action named "index". Is that correct? Actually, my index.html redirects to /mynamespace/myaction.action. If I just used that I would need to create a directory named /mynamespace with a zero byte file called myaction.action. Is that correct?

This 404 might not be WAS' fault. In the Spec (can't remember if it was 2.3 / 2.4) it was specified that a file had to exist on the file system for it to be usable as a welcome-file. This is sort of a pain for Struts2. One quick hack that worked in Tomcat is to just create a zero-byte file called index.action. I can't guarantee that WAS will be happy with that, but I have used that before. -Wes -- Wes Wannemacher Author - Struts 2 In Practice Includes coverage of Struts 2.1, Spring, JPA, JQuery, Sitemesh and more http://www.manning.com/wannemacher --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any attached files are confidential.
