yes - it is definitely possible. The thing to remember is that if you
are using struts2 tags (which I'm pretty sure you are), you need to
redirect through an action first so the value stack is available to the tag.

Instead I see the following in the Tomcat log:

I tried configuring the app to go directly to the login jsp page, but the
struts2 tags throw the following NullPointer:

(org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/mywebapp].[jsp])

If this is off topic and I should post this to the Tomcat user list please let
me know...it just seems to me that other S2 users may have this same question.

Subject: [S2] login action w/FORM authentication?
Is it possible to use an action as the webapp's login page? I've tried the
following web.xml/struts.xml entries with S2.0.8 & Tomcat 5.5.23, but get a 404
The requested resource (/mywebapp/login.action) is not available message.
<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/login.action</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/loginFailure.action</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>
<action name="login">
<result>/login.jsp</result>
</action>
