Almost surely, it will not work (as wanted):

  "index" is probably a DTML object. DTML objects usually need
  to be rendered to be useful as "dtml-var" arguments, something
  like:

	<dtml-var expr="_.render(java.index)">

Apparently a wide spread misconception!

	"index_html" is only appended by ZPublisher, e.g.
	during URL traversal. "dtml-var" rendering does not do that!
