Serving static content, when extension is empty
-----------------------------------------------
Key: WW-3086
URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-3086
Project: Struts 2
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0.11.1
Environment: Tomcat 5.5
Reporter: Aravindan Ramkumar
I don't want .action or .do on the end of the url's, so I set
struts.action.extension='' (empty string)
Now this leaves me with a bit of a problem serving static content, since struts
swallows up all of my requests, and nothing gets through to the default
servlet. I opened up the code for FilterDispatcher and DefaultActionMapper.
The FilterDispatcher would serve static files, if struts.constants.serve.static
is true and the action mapper returns null. But the problem is if the extension
is set as an empty string, DefaultActionMapper returns the name of the static
file as the action name. Struts cannot find a action with that name and
forwards to the default action (if present) or throws an exception.
A quick and dirty way to fix this would be to patch the DefaultActionMapper or
add a "black list" of urls to be ignored by FilterDispatcher.
