Wes,
That was an interesting exercise. I changed my welcome-file to be
"index.action", added the zero-byte file "/webapp/index.action", and defined
the following action:
<action name="index" >
<result>/index.html</result>
</action>
This worked the same on Tomcat 5.5 as it did when my welcome-file was just
"index.html." Unfortunately, on WebSphere I still got the message: "Error 404:
There is no Action mapped for namespace / and action name index ." Of course,
if I type http://myserver/mycontext/index.action in the browser that works
fine. Something is seriously hosed on WAS 6.1.
I've asked the WAS Admin to bump us up to 6.1.0.23 and I'll continue testing
tomorrow.
Thank you for your suggestion.

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?

I don't know about all of the problems, but one thing that might help
you understand this a little bit... 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.
