Question

I want to make an action running by default when users access my web site.

This is a classic Java EE project that is developed with Struts2 and Tomcat. I know how to do this in web.xml:

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

But, I want to do this through Struts2’s action.

Answer 1

Try this code and see if this works.

 <action name="index" class="myaction">
     <result>/index.jsp</result>
 </action>

And you can also try this.

<welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>/myfolder/index.action</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

another way is in your index jsp is you do something like this

<% response.sendRedirect("home.do"); %>

but I don’t believe that this an appropriate approach
