Sounds like you are looking for http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/

I'm glad I don't have to deal with policies like this one.

The first problem you'll have if you try to push this inside the struts
portion of your web application is that you'll need to configure struts
to handle EVERY request (i.e.: an empty extension matches everything),
so then you'll have to jump through hoops to get static content (.css,
.js, images, etc.) working again. Once you've got that fixed, you'll
need to write a special purpose ActionMapper to handle this individual
case (while not messing up the mapping for other actions), and then I
predict you'll still have problems with "/StrutsBlankWeb/example/" vs
"/StrutsBlankWeb/example".

The URL is actually derived from namespace, not context. (eg: context is
"StrutsBlankWeb", package namespace "/example"). And for whatever reason it
didnt occur to me that I could create a directory example inside Web Content
and put the welcome file! I am all set now, thanks!

You could also just use a welcome file with a redirect.

Hi Dale,
thanks, yes to some extent this is what I am looking for but not the
complete features as mod_rewrite. Unfortunately only apache opensource is
allowed for us so we cant use this.
I think I can investigate putting the redirect in interceptor, and if that
doesnt work then servlet filter? I thought ActionMapper does some of this.
Thanks
