`-- store				Added to Navigation
    |-- index.jsp


,----[ index.jsp ]
| CmsJspActionElement cms = new CmsJspActionElement( pageContext, request, response );
| CmsObject cmsObject = cms.getCmsObject();
| 
| String uri = cms.getRequestContext().getUri();
| 
| List navigation = CmsJspNavBuilder.getNavigationForFolder( cmsObject, uri );
| 
| for( Iterator it = navigation.iterator(); it.hasNext(); )
| {
|     CmsJspNavElement navElement = ( CmsJspNavElement ) i.next();
| 
|     try
|     {
|         if ( ! navElement.isFolderLink() ) continue;
|         CmsResource resource = cmsObject.readResource( navElement.getResourceName() + "index.html" );
|         cms.getResponse().sendRedirect( cms.link( navElement.getResourceName() ) );
|     }

you could also put it where you generate your navigation.
