Additionally, you could make your entry point the directory's index page without using the index in the url:
http://mycorp.com/struts/login/ would reference the index.jsp in the login directory. index.jsp would forward to index.do so it would go through the struts controller. The action mapped to index.do would simply forward to index2.jsp (or something else). You can use the struts ForwardAction to do this easily.
