Processing an action for an index page?
Maybe this is a common question, but I haven't found an obvious answer.
I'd like to have a URL like http://mysite/webapp/. Now, if I just wanted
to have it go to index.jsp or index.html in that directory, I'd know how to
do it.
However, what I'd like to do is have Struts process the request through the
controller, so I can do things like process cookies and look up user state
in an Action bean before the index page is displayed. If I had the user
type in a URL like "http://mysite/webapp/index.do", I could force the
initial trip through the controller, but I don't know (short of having an
index.jsp that just does an immediate redirect to a ".do" page) how to make
Struts process the welcome page.
Any thoughts?

I remember having problems with this (at least making index.do a
welcome file). I think it is because there is actually no file named
"index.do" so some webservers (resin and apache+resin, I believe) give
you a 404 because of this. I ended up using an index.jsp with a
redirect to index.do. Perhaps that's the most portable method.

Put something like this in your web.xml file:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>/MyAction.do</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

I think most people just do as you guessed. Put a simple index.jsp that
forwards to your initial action. That's how we do it.
