To answer my own question - wildcards do not seem to work if the namespace is "/". I tried adding a namespace and it works. Can someone explain why this is so?
<struts> <constant name="struts.enable.SlashesInActionNames" value="true"/> <constant name="struts.action.extension" value=""/> <package name="default" extends="struts-default" namespace="/w"> <action name="widgets/*" class="app.WidgetsAction"> {1} <result name="success">/index.jsp</result> </action> </package> </struts> Thanks, Binil Binil Thomas wrote: > > Hi all, > > I am trying to make my URLs more readable, and was hoping that I could use > pattern-matching wildcards in action declarations.
