I can confirem this one is still active. Though maybe not a bug.
But the thing is, it will work if you type any url like this .../MyWebApp/xxx.action or .../MyWebApp/xxx.do. so if the .action or the .do is present the default action gets loaded. but not otherwise. struts does not map urls without the ending.

Workaround: create an empty file with the name of your default action (e.g. "home.action") at the place where the url would find it (e.g. "WebContent"). And in your web.xml:

  	<welcome-file-list>
  		<welcome-file>home.action</welcome-file>
  	</welcome-file-list>
