I'm not sure if this will work everywhere, but it works in Resin. If
you set your <welcome-file> to index.action and put an empty (ie 0
length) file named index.action in the root directory of your war
file. When the server gets the request, it first checks to see if the
request matches a known resource, if not it checks the directory for a
file matching specified welcome-file. If it finds one, things proceed
as usual and struts gets the request to process and will naturally go
to your index.jsp file to fulfil the request.
