hi,
you can always use extensionless actions, as long as they're under some
directory. example:
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/action/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping> <!-- needed by struts -->
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/struts/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
in the case, static content (HTML, CSS, JS, etc.) located outside /action is
served directly by the web server/jsp container and not processed by Struts2
(it could even be moved out of the web server/jsp container).
