You can use a wildcard mapping for this:
http://struts.apache.org/struts-doc-1.2.8/userGuide/building_controller.html#action_mapping_wildcards
In your case, something like this should work:
<action path="/search/*" type="your.company.app.SearchAction" />
Note that the servlet mapping remains whatever it is now, I'm guessing
something like /* in your case.
Also, I'm not entirely sure what you mean when you say "where ??? is the
keywords for the search". Do you mean they will be in the form of a
query string, or literally part of the URI path you request? I believe
a wildcard mapping is the answer either way though, even if the above
configuration isn't precisely right for your particular use case.

Hi all! I wonder how to manage this.
Suppose a local site called testsystem, whose index page can be visited as
http://localhost:8080/testsystem. Now I want an Action (named SearchAction)
to process all search requests presented by this uri-pattern:
http://localhost:8080/testsystem/search/???, where ??? is the keywords for
search. You know that if I write "<url-pattern>/search/*</url-pattern>"
properly in web.xml, such search requests will be served by ActionServlet.
But it seems that I cannot specify a certain Action for a url-pattern. The
names of the forwards defined in <global-forwards> is already constants, not
variables. So how to do this?
Big thanks!
