Remind me again why .action causes problems with declaritive security?
Surely the real problem is that Webwork currently doesn't care if an
arbitrary path is specified in the URL. ie:
http://www.me.com/abc123/admin/deleteUser.action is treated the same as
http://www.me.com/admin/deleteUser.action - which makes it very messy to
nail down in web.xml.
That *is* the problem. And itt's not messy; it's impossible! No matter how you construct your web.xml I can circumvent it by doing an arbitrary path like so:
http://www.me.com/jkldsdfglkjglkdhgdklhg/asdasdasd/deleteUser.action

If .action invocations are not allowed then it's possible to use declarative security. Plus if execution of actions is only possible if a URL has been previously associated with it during form creation, then it's even safer.
