call Action when a JSP is called

[Sudha Joish]

When users request for index.jsp, I want a SetUpAction class to be called.
With a servlet, I would edit the web.xml to get this done.
With a struts framework, I am not sure how I should edit my struts-config.xml.
At present, I have a link on my index.jsp.

<html:link page="/do/setUpContactForm">Add a Contact</html:link>

And in my struts-config.xml:

<action path="/setUpContactForm"
   type="net.pilot.SetUpContactAction"
   name="contactForm"
   scope="request"
   validate="false">
  <forward
      name="continue"
      path="/ContactPage.jsp"/>
</action>

Now, I want to bypass the index.jsp and arrive at the SetupAction class directly.
How can I do this?
Thanks

Hi,
You can try doing something like this:
In your index.jsp use this line:

<logic:forward name="forwardToSetupContactForm" />

And in your struts-config.xml:

<forward
     name="forwardToSetupContactForm"
     path="/do/setUpContactForm"/>

Your action should be called immediately when you type in index.jsp.
