You need to change your filter-mapping in web.xml so that static
resources like images, css, js etc do not get processed by the struts
filter.
This is what I use where all actions use the *.action extension.
<filter>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.action</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/struts/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
If you don't want to use an extension you can use a prefix that
matches your namespace and you can have multiple filter-mapping
definitions one for each namespace.
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/xxx/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/yyy/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
The drawback with this is it doesn't work for the root (/) namespace
and since filter-mapping does not support any exclude pattern you
can't just exclude the images etc.
You may be able to modify the struts filter to exclude certain
patterns, assuming it doesn't already have this feature it sounds like
a nice enhancement.
