I didn't know about the empty file trick; thanks.
It's annoying that this isn't defined in the servlet spec. Each servlet
container does it differently; with jetty you can have the welcome-file point
to a servlet (although I must be doing something wrong since I couldn't get it
to work). My next experiment will be Resin.

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.

My bad, I´m really sorry the code I posted is totally wrong. please ignore
it. I usually start with a index.jsp or html as a welcome page.

Luis, are you using tomcat? I've tried that but it only works for me when
the welcome-file is a actual, physical file in the ~tomcat/webapps/myapp
directory.

This is my preffered choice, just a welcome page defined in the web.xml
file
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>start.action</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
No redirects just straight to the action.

Is there a preferred way to "jump start" a web app when the user starts

the top; e.g., they use the url
http://somehost.com/myapp/
What I'm doing now is putting a redirect in index.jsp, as follows. Is
there a better way?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; %>
<c:redirect
url="/start.action"
/>
I want the naked, top url to have an action.
