<p>Annotated wildcard action names are now sorted most-specific-first before
registration, using these keys in order:</p>
<ol>
+ <li>fewer path-spanning <code class="language-plaintext
highlighter-rouge">**</code> tokens first — <code class="language-plaintext
highlighter-rouge">**</code> crosses <code class="language-plaintext
highlighter-rouge">/</code> while <code class="language-plaintext
highlighter-rouge">*</code> and <code class="language-plaintext
highlighter-rouge">{var}</code> never do, so a pattern that
+relies on it is broader than one that does not (<code
class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">a/*/*</code> therefore ranks ahead
of <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">a/**</code>);</li>
<li>fewer wildcard tokens first (a <code class="language-plaintext
highlighter-rouge">*</code> / <code class="language-plaintext
highlighter-rouge">**</code> run, or a <code class="language-plaintext
highlighter-rouge">{var}</code> group);</li>
<li>more literal characters first;</li>

highlighter-rouge">**</code> tokens first;</li>
<li>alphabetical order of the pattern, as a deterministic tie-breaker.</li>
</ol>
+<p>Struts 7.3.0 applied the <code class="language-plaintext
highlighter-rouge">**</code> key third, after the wildcard-token and literal
counts, so <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">a/**</code> could
shadow
+<code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">a/*/*</code>; 7.4.0 lifts
it to the first key (<a

<p>The comparison recognises both <code class="language-plaintext
highlighter-rouge">*</code> / <code class="language-plaintext
highlighter-rouge">**</code> (the default <code class="language-plaintext
highlighter-rouge">WildcardHelper</code> matcher) and <code
class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">{var}</code>
(<code class="language-plaintext
highlighter-rouge">NamedVariablePatternMatcher</code>). XML mappings are
unaffected — they keep their declared order.</p>
