i guess you mean "the web server/jsp container ignores the welcome-file-list", as struts2 takes over everything with /*.
the workaround may be to either: - if you're using actions without extension: change struts2 filter mapping from /* to /actions/* and have actions under /actions - if you're using actions with extensions: change struts2 filter mapping from /* to *.action with either of the above approaches, static content (HTML, CSS, JS, etc.) is served directly by the web server/jsp container and not processed by Struts2 (it could even be moved out of the web server/jsp container, but that's something else...). the exception to this is content under struts/* which is struts specific and should be processed by struts2 (mapping between struts2 and struts/* is therefore needed). santos.
