Accessing path extra info: possible action-mapping bug

[Laurie Harper]

Hi, I'm trying to use path extra info to pass data into my JSPs and 
actions and I'm getting some odd behaviour. If I put this into 
struts-config.xml:

        <action path="/foo/*"
                type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
                parameter="/foo.jsp?path={1}">
        </action>
if works fine, but what I actually want to do is more like:
        <action path="/foo/*"
                type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
                parameter="/foo.jsp">
            <set-property property="path" value="{1}"/>
        </action>
My intention was to replace ForwardAction with an action that wraps the 
servlet request so that HttpServletRequest#getPathInfo() returns the 
value of the 'path' property.

But as soon as I add the <set-property/> tag to the configuration, 
Struts starts returning a 404 response for the action mapping. Why does 
it do that? Shouldn't the behaviour be the same with or without the 
<set-property/> element?

Is there another way to use path extra info in Struts?
