This is documented in the Javadoc for NameBasedActionResolver[1]:
"Another useful feature of the NameBasedActionResolver is that when a
request arrives for a URL that is not bound to an ActionBean the
resolver will attempt to map the request to a view and return a 'dummy'
ActionBean that will take the user to the view. The exact behaviour is
modifiable by overriding one or more of
[1]handleActionBeanNotFound(ActionBeanContext, String),
[2]findView(String) or [3]getFindViewAttempts(String). The default
behaviour is to map the URL being requested to three potential JSP
names/paths, check for the existence of a JSP at those locations and if
one exists then to return an ActionBean that will render the view. For
example if a user requested '/account/ViewAccount.action' but an
ActionBean does not yet exist bound to that URL, the resolver will
check for JSPs in the following order:
* /account/ViewAccount.jsp
* /account/viewAccount.jsp
* /account/view_account.jsp
The value of this approach comes from the fact that by default all
pages can appear to have a pre-action whether they actually have one or
not. In the above can you might chose to link to
/account/ViewAccount.action even though you know that no action exists
and you want to navigate directly to a page. This way, if you later
decide you do need a pre-action for any reason you can simply code the
ActionBean and be done. No URLs or links need to be modified and all
requests to /account/ViewAccount.action will flow through the
ActionBean."

After setting up the starting guide, it appears that I can visit
/jspname.action and this will directly render the jsp. Why does
stripes let me do this? I'd think that the .action extension would
only work on ActionBeans, not jsps. When is this functionality useful?
Seems like it should be a bug to me. Keep in mind I can already visit
/jspname.jsp if I want to.
