index.jsp:
<%
/**
* Redirect default requests to Welcome action.
*/
%>
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>
<logic:forward name="welcome"/>
Struts-config:
<global-forwards>
<forward
name="welcome"
path="/announcements.do"/>
</global-forwards>
You could also use "announcements" instead of "welcome", but I tend to
standardize on forwarding to Welcome and put the specifics in the
config.
