currently i map all *.do requests to the action servlet.
i have an action at myHost/action.do.
i also want myHost/action to map to that same struts action.
how can i do this?
thanks a lot.
You only have two options for URL mapping: prefix or extension. In other
words, you can say 'map any URL beginning ... to this servlet', or 'map any
URL ending ... to this servlet'. Also, according to the docs, Struts will
break if you have more than one URL mapping to the same action servlet.
So, possibility one: create two servlet definitions in web.xml, named
differently, and map one as usual to '*.do' and the other to '*action'. I'm
not sure that'll work, though, and probably isn't as general as you want.
Possibility two: you can't do this from within standard Struts and will
have to use something like mod_rewrite.
Possibility three: use prefix mapping instead, so your URL would be
http://.../do/action and you don't have to worry about '.do' on the end of
the URL.
Bottom line: there's no way to have a general rule which says 'map .../X
and .../X.do to the same thing' for arbitrary X. Maybe if you explain why
you want to, the list can suggest alternative approaches.
