Am I crazy or is Jennie using Struts 1.x and Mark just proposed a
solution for 2.x?
Jennie, your web.xml servler-mapping is overriding each other, you're
first saying you want /*/*.jsp sent to action but then you're saying
you want *.do's sent to action? I'm not too sure if that's valid.
Have you tried just using *.jsp like the following and see how far you
get?
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
