If I remember correctly, from looking at the source code, Struts determines what extension (or prefix) to add to the request. If /* is used I could see how it could screw things up. You don't want images and things like that going through Struts anyway, I wouldn't think.
Why do you want to do /* (at least for Struts URL pattern)? -----Original Message----- From: Paul Yunusov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 11:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mapping Struts controller servlet to webapp root: trouble I was wondering if anyone has heard of issues arising when the contoller is mapped to a webapp's root. I am talking about this: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> where "action" is the Struts controller. Struts seems to return a 400 error with such mapping when it tries to make a forward from an Action instance saying that "the request was syntactically incorrect". <url-pattern>/struts/*</url-pattern> or <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern> are commong but I was wondering about the "/*" mapping. Anyone heard of any issues with this?
