I have done this and it works.
I have set index.do as the welcome page in Apache. It forwards it to Resin fine (I am confident that it'll work on Tomcat too). The trick is to create a dummy file called index.do. In this file I have one line, "You have not setup Apache to talk to your JSP container properly. Please refer to installation manual". Without this file, Apache cannot forward it to Resin.

I don“t know about the spec, but at least Tomcat *does not* accept this solution. I haven“t tried with a servlet, but an action doesn“t work. Maybe because the name of the tag in web.xml is welcome-file-list, it“s must be either a tag that accepts only files or a semantic problem in the spec.
