index.do as welcome file?

After looking at the struts-config.xml DTD (thanks, Muthu!) , it looked as if
the unknown attribute would solve this problem, but a quick trial of

    <action path="/index"
            type="test.IndexAction"
            unknown="true">
    </action>

showed that this isn't the solution that I'm looking for.  Am I doing something
wrong?  Is ther another way to go about this?

Thanks,

You can do the same thing by just having a index.jsp page that just 
forwards to your index.do servlet.

Using an Action as a welcome doesn't work, but you can use an index.jsp
to forward to a welcome Action. 

<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-logic" prefix="logic" %>
<logic:forward name="welcome"/>

RE: index.do as welcome file?

If this is solely a cosmetic thing, why not make an index.jsp your
welcome file, and have it requestDispatcher.forward into your struts
framework....Put it in a bean if it makes you happy.
I haven't tried this, but I don't see why it wouldn't work....
