Thanks Barett,
Its true that no action runs. Tomcat displays "MAPPING configuration error
for request URI" when the 500 error is generated.
But why does it work once the user has logged in?
If I change the initial redirect to "/login" it fails with the following
displayed in the browser window:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot create redirect URL:
java.net.MalformedURLException: Cannot retrieve ActionForward named /login
at
org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.handlePageException(PageContextImp
l.java:463)
at org.apache.jsp.index$jsp._jspService(index$jsp.java:91)
[snip]
Hmm, guess I will have to look at the Tomcat config. Its odd that it starts
working OK when the user is logged in.
TIA - Adam

I think you're on the right track with your idea that no action has run
first. Usually in Struts an action should run before the JSP is seen.
Does it work if you use the following tag on your index.jsp instead?
<logic:redirect forward="/login"/>
