http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16982 Action listed as a "welcome-file" in web.xml not executed unless dummy file exists Summary: Action listed as a "welcome-file" in web.xml not executed unless dummy file exists Product: Struts Version: 1.1 Beta 3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Controller AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using Tomcat 4.1.18. I would like the "welcome-file" to be a Struts action, so I configure my web.xml and struts-config.xml files as follows: web.xml: <web-app> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>/index</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> <servlet> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>config</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/index</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> struts-config.xml: <struts-config> <action-mappings> <action path="/index" type="ai.apps.timesheet.actions.IndexAction"/> </action-mappings> </struts-config> However, the action is not instantiated when I hit "http://mysite/blah/index". However (again), if I create an empty file in my webapp root called "index", then my action *is* instantiated. The content of the "index" file does not appear to matter, just as long as it exists. I think this may be a Tomcat issue, but I'm not 100% sure..... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
