There are four types of patterns that are searched in the following order:
1. Explicit mappings (no wildcards are used) – for example “/add.jsp” or “/admin/remove.do”.
2. Path prefix mappings – contains a “/”, then a path prefix, then a “/*”. This can be used to specify an entire subbranch of your web application – for example, “/admin/*” or “/search/company/*”.
3. Extension mappings – a “*.” Followed by a prefix. This mapping can be used to specify all files of a certain type (e.g. “*.jsp”). Extension mapping is also often used to map Struts actions (e.g. “*.do”)
4. The default mapping “/” – matches all URLs for the web application.

I am having problems configuring my security-constraints specifically the url-pattern What should this be set to? I have a jsp which displays a tree type menu in which the leaves call different .do's. I want some of these to be secure and require logins but not all. My question is: What do I put in the url-pattern? The url that displays at the bottom of the browser is: http://my.company.com/addHost.do My struts-config.xml looks something like:
<action
path="/addHost"
type="admin.AdminAction"
scope="request"
name="hostListForm">
<forward
name="Success" path="/admin/host_add.jsp"/>
</action>
Please help.
