I'm not sure the default action solves the problem. I am put this in my struts.xml file: <!-- Set the default action to Login_show --> <default-action-ref name="Login_show" />
It appears that it only loads Login_show if a user types in an *.action file. For example: URL: http://www.mydomain.com/package/DOESNOTEXIST.action Result: http://www.mydomain.com/package/Login_show.action URL: http://www.mydomain.com/package/ Result: Simply loads the index.jsp file (I believe it doesn't route through Struts because it doesn't match a "url-pattern" for the struts filter). And if I put a <jsp:forward name="Login_show.action"/> in index.jsp - I still get URL not found as before. How are you getting the user from www.mydomain.com -> www.mydomain.com/package/default.action using this method? I think I am missing a step.
