Heh, I always wondered how you folks would handle those. :) To answer the first question, I think "**" would be useful if you were wanting to support say a really descriptive ReST-style URL (like "/xml/us/product/category/item") and wanted to leave the parsing of the URL to the Action class. So far, I've been able to support more descriptive URL's by simply doing something like "*/*", but then I have to figure out how to pass all the matched values to the Action. For long/complex URL's, just matching "/xml/**" then letting the action parse it with regular expressions would be much easier.
Ideally, I'd like to find a way, using wildcards, to get down to zero configuration needed for 90% of Struts actions, but allow the other complex 10% to be able to have complete control of the configuration for their special cases. I've written up a few ideas here: http://www.jroller.com/page/mrdon/20040706#zero_configuration_with_struts Don On Thu, 05 Aug 2004 10:24:27 +0100, Duncan Mills <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yup.
