When struts encounters a URI that matches multiple wildcard mappings it chooses the most recent match (ie. "the last one wins" ). As a result, I should define less-specific patterns before the more specific patterns. This is simple enough when using XML-based config, but I'm not sure how it works with an annotation-based config. Does struts process these mappings in a consistent/predictable manner?
For example, I have two @Action's defined in separate classes (both use wildcard mappings). When struts services a request it appears to match the less-specific pattern *last*. Can I influence the ordering of these definitions? Unfortunately choosing different url patterns is not an option available to us. Many thanks, Jim deVos
