The attached patch allows relative paths to be specified for actions defined in the action-mappings element of struts-config.xml.
If the path attribute of the action element is specified without a leading slash, struts now suffix matches the action-mapping paths against the path in the request, instead of doing an exact match. Previously in this case the path would never match.
If the path attribute is specified with a leading slash, the behaviour is to find an exact match the same as now.
This feature is useful where you want struts to ignore directories in your URL, for example:
http://somewhere/context/struts/-country-/show/info.do might display info on a particular "country". Defining the action-mapping path as "show/info" will match all URLs ending with "show/info.do" regardless of the value of "-country-".
Previously "-country-" would have to be specified as either a cookie (not always on), in the session (which may be lost at any time), or as a parameter (requiring link mangling on pages).
Comments...?

Graham
