Tried to set welcome file in web.xml to "welcome.do" that forwards to a JSP file and it doesn't appear this is supported.
Anyone have an idea?

maybe try changing it to "welcome.moose" -- that should work.

For some reason (I forget) you need to use a JSP to forward to your action. So, create some welcome.jsp (which is your index file in your web.xml), which simply does a <jsp:forward page="/welcome.do"/>.

I believe that reason is that the specification talks about welcome files which are to be used when a request comes in for a "directory" URL that has no servlet mapping set.

Got it to work using the <jsp:forward> to my action.
Thanks!
