If you have developed your application in "struts friendly" way, this should
be as easy as changing....
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
to
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/javapps/*.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
or (for path mapping)
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/myapp/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/javapps/myapp/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
...in the web.xml
I just tested this on the project I am currently working on and it works
fine. My login page now posts to "/javapps/harland/security" whereas it
used to be "/harland/security". I can also change it back and forth from
extension mapping to path mapping by simply modifying the <url-patter> to
any of the above values.
Best I can tell you is to make the change (as noted above) and run your test
suite. You did build a test suite right?
