Toby, Struts ActionServlet only allow configuration for one mapping. From your experiments, the last one in the web.xml sounds like it takes precedence and resets internal ActionServlet settings for the latest mapping. Think of it this way: If you had two mappings, how would you make the html:form tag know you wanted to use the '.tm' or '.usr' suffix (or a prefix for that matter since I use /do/* as my mapping) ? Struts html:form has no way for you to specify that part of the form name since it was only built to handle the one mapping.
If it is all one struts application, why would you need two suffix mappings for the same Struts app? You'd have to hand-code the html <form action="..."> tag for what you're suggesting (two different suffixes for one Struts webapp).

It seems the order of my servlet mappings affects the action attribute of my form by appending of the suffix of the last mapping to the end of the form's action. As an example: I have the following servlet definition: <servlet> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>config</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> And the following mappings: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.tm</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.usr</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> And the following form definition in my JSP: <html:form action="order/item/add.tm"> When I load the jsp page with the above form definition and view the source, the form definition ends up looking like this: <form name="addItemForm" method="post" action="/website/gsp/order/item/add.usr"> If i swap the order of the mappings above so that the url-pattern *.tm is second, then the form definition ends up being: <form name="addItemForm" method="post" action="/website/gsp/order/item/add.tm"> Can anyone explain why this might be happening?
