Hi,

My html form uses "get" method to send data to server to do a search.

<html:form action="/searchresult.do" method="get">
        City: <html:text property="city"/><br/><br/>
        ...
        <html:submit value="Search"/>
</html:form>

So in the result page, the url will be .../searchresult.do?city=....

Since the form contains many fields and some fields' values are pretty long,
I plan to use one letter to name each field so that the length of the result
url won't exceed 255 characters. E.g. if c is used to represent the city
filed, the above code would be like this:

<html:form action="/searchresult.do" method="get">
        City: <html:text property="c"/><br/><br/>
        ...
        <html:submit value="Search"/>
</html:form>

and the result page's url would be .../searchresult.do?c=..., which is what
I expect.

Now a problem comes up. I have to use the single character to name the
property in the view and in the action form class, which is not good as it's
not meaningful.

I'd like to use "city" to name the City field but when the form is
submitted, the result page url would use a signle character to pass the
City's value, like .../searchresult.do?c=... instead of
.../searchresult.do?city=.... Is there a way to do that? Is there a mapping
between url parameter names and html fileld names we can establish in struts
1?

Many thanks.
