Kevin, >From my knowledge you can't achieve exactly what you're looking for in struts2 because struts2 uses the first part of the last section of the url resource identifier as the key for the action lookup (i.e. for all 4 of your examples the action would be mapped to he same action for queryName).
I quick and dirty way around this would be to add an extra directory level for each type, define that as a separate namespace in struts-config, define the struts filter to handle all relevant extensions in web.xml, and then you could have the different types. This would give you something like; http://www.domain.com/struts2/xml/queryName.xml?param1=foo http://www.domain.com/struts2/json/queryName.json?param1=foo http://www.domain.com/struts2/html/queryName.html?param1=foo http://www.domain.com/struts2/rss/queryName.rss?param1=foo Would this work for you?

I've got the Struts 2 framework up and running and I'm trying to figure out how to get it to support a use case for our new application. We'd like to have a set of web services that look like this: http://www.domain.com/struts2/queryName.xml?param1=foo http://www.domain.com/struts2/queryName.json?param1=foo http://www.domain.com/struts2/queryName.html?param1=foo http://www.domain.com/struts2/queryName.rss?param1=foo As you can see, the query and its parameters won't change, but we'd like to alter the result type based on the requested URL file type. How can I best achieve this in Struts 2? I know that I can do some Apache rewriting to map these to the correct Actions, but I'd much rather do it in the struts-config.xml file if I can, that way I can just maintain everything from one location. Also, does anyone have any suggestions for best practices on how to handle different result types? I'd like to reuse some of the same basic framework pieces to handle all Rss, JSON, etc requests so that when I want to add a new query to the web service, it's just a matter of adding another Action to support it, and all of the result types are automatically inherited. Thanks in advance for your help!
