I have a largish app that I wrote with RESTful design. It doesn't use the REST plugin because I didn't like the codebehind results default. Having all my views in a flat directory with action-result.ext on a large project doesn't work. Instead I organized my views action/results (i.e. PatientController : WEB-INF/pages/patient/index.jsp or edit.jsp, etc). Its more like Rails and on larger projects its way easier to follow. I am not sure if you nest view directories under the parent contollers packages....
So I ended up just wiring it up using XML configuration. Since then, I have been playing with the REST and Codebehind plugin. I got the Codebehind plugin to organize the view files the way I wanted, but with Convention and smart-urls still out there, I was worried about tying an app to one of them. Somehow when working with the REST plugin its seems unfinished.... Struts2 definitely needs less options in the configuration and action invocation space. The whole idea behind convention over configuration is that the software should be opinionated. There should be "a way". - We need customizable routes where you can embed parameters, to do things like nested resources (/users/[:user_id]/comments/[:id]) - <s:url .../> and <s:form action=... /> should generate RESTful or whatever URLs based on the invocation scheme and routes - As I mentioned before the default result organization should be package-past-baseactionpackage/contoller/result.jsp|ftl But most importantly we need one way! Convention looks great, I would love to see the REST/Convention setup. Did you commit your rest changes?
