In your web.xml file, you can define a "welcome file" that is used by the
servlet container (that's how it knows to try index.html or index.jsp).  So,
you could add something like this:

    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>index.do</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>

One thing to note is that your index.do method will get called for any
"directory name" within the app as well.

Re: Setting initial page to be an action

I tried this a couple of days ago but the results
 back where a directly listing. I also had to add
 an entry in my action.xml to handle "index" action
 but it still returned the directory listing.
While specifying index.do does give the correct
result.
Perhaps this behavior is due to weblogic5.1 ?
