URI mapper plugin for struts2

Hi, I have been using struts for an year now and I always thought that expecting name and namespace of the action in URI is very limiting to application developers. It makes it very difficult to have actions mapping to UriTemplates like http://www.example.com/{foo}/{bar}/{baz}. Some times (as i

Usecases for ModelDriven interface
