Okay, I'll try that out. Actually I just don't know where to set wildcard
mappings.
They get set in struts-config.xml. It's just an action mapping.
Yes, here "???" is the query string, and the directory
"/search/???", obviously, does not exist at all.
Ok... you won't even need wildcards then. The path you request ends
with the /search part then. The query string gets tacked on, if its a
GET request, and doesn't factor in to the path you will request.
One thing that might make this all slightly easier to understand, if you
have the choice, is to switch to extension mapping. I think it's fair
to say that most people use extension mapping as opposed to path
mapping. It tends to make things slightly more obvious and I think even
a bit more flexible. Take a look here:
http://struts.apache.org/struts-doc-1.2.8/userGuide/configuration.html#dd_config_mapping
As an aside, I get the feeling you are new to Struts. If that is
correct, that is of course OK (and actually a good thing in terms of
Struts continuing to be relevant!)... there are plenty of people on this
list who will be very willing to help you along, but I think you would
do yourself a service by reading up a bit first. The things we're
talking about here are pretty basic and are the kinds of things you
could probably answer yourself if you spent a little time getting
familiar with Struts. Just skimming through the user guide in 30
minutes would help a lot I think:
http://struts.apache.org/struts-doc-1.2.8/userGuide/index.html
And if my guess was wrong, ignore that entire previous paragraph :)

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!
