Tomcat 5 supports servlets as welcome-files, just not extension-mapped ones (e.g. *.do, *.jsp). The reason is that extension-mapped servlets would alway be choosen, even though in most cases the servlet couldn't handle it.
Simply adding a mapping like: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/index.do</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> solves your problem.
