Hi all, Musachy and Dave are wright, you only need this: <default-action-ref name="index"></default-action-ref> in your struts.xml no file in tomcat is needed, i use it in my www.isiak.pl app so you can check it out, it's on tomcat.
Also one can do any redirect or anything else in this default action, because it's a real action, for example i do: @Result(name="success", location="kolczyki", type="redirectAction", params={"namespace", "/", "link", "szmaragdowe-krople"}) Best greetings, Paweł Wielgus. 2009/8/30 Peter Phillips <petergphill...@googlemail.com>: > Luis- there's nothing wrong with your code, but Rusty is also right. > The trick is to create an empty file called the same name as your > action (e.g. start.action) at the root of your web app. Tomcat will > see the empty file and then call your action directly. > > > 2009/8/30 Luis Martín Canaval Sánchez <martin.cana...@gmail.com>: >> My bad, I´m really sorry the code I posted is totally wrong. please ignore >> it.
