I am new to struts2. I was trying a small application for practice but I hit an issue.

I was trying to forward directly from index.jsp to login.jsp. I know I can directly forward to login.jsp but the below code should also be valid. I am attaching the code I was trying.
below is the code from what I was trying.

index.jsp

<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
    <title>Home</title>
</head>
<body>
       <jsp:forward page="login.action" />
</body>
</html>

struts.xml

<struts>
<include file="example.xml"/>
<!-- Configuration for the default package. -->
<package name="default" extends="struts-default">
    <action name="login">
        <result>/login.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>
</struts>

login.jsp

 <%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
 <%@taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
         <title>JSP Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <s:form>
        <s:textfield name="user" label="User Name" />
        <s:password name="passwd" label="Password" />
    </s:form>
</body>
</html>

In web.xml the index.php page is set as welcome page. Suppose XYZ is the context name, when I put /XYZ/login its take to login page but when I put /XYZ/in the browser it give and resource not found error.

when I use <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=login.action"> again it works fine.

I am using tomcat7 as a web server. Why is this happening?

    Not all the containers by default perform FORWARD to non-JSP resources – <jsp:forward/> – to say container to do it please add the following mapping to web.xml:

    <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
    <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
