Steve,

My intent was to make things work "as expected".  I actually had 
instances where the names of actions were being misunderstood to be 
sub-app names.  Very annoying.  I'm sure the committers would be happy 
to look at any patch you might come up with to add the functionality you 
desire though.  If nothing else, it could go into contrib.

It was never stated (that I am aware of) that there would be 
multi-levels to sub-applications.  As I recall Craig talking about them, 
it was simply to add "one more level" by which things could be broken 
apart - for team-development reasons primarily (each team now has their 
"own" config - less contention).  My view of my "attempt" to fix this 
aberrant behavior is that it is a success :-)  My stuff now works "as 
expected".  I'm sorry it doesn't make possible what you wanted to do, 
but that was never within the scope of the patch (IMHO).

As a side note, and admittedly lacking a full understanding of the "full 
Struts machinery", I believe a change such as the one you desire would 
require more than just patching this one procedure.  Maybe I'm not 
thinking about it correctly - I really haven't sat down and reasoned it, 
but it seems there would be more to it.  Of course, if you have this 
implemented already, you could just "cvs diff -u RequestUtils.java > 
RequestUtils.patch" and attach it to the bug :-)

Kind Regards,

Eddie
