Sure I'm already using an HTTP redirect filter that precedes Struts' own but out of principle I wanted to explore the possibility of the redirect being engaged by an action to record "near correct URLs".
I then run some metrics on these near misses and handle them. I can still do that with a filter but was rather stumped when I couldn't get it right with Struts, since I wanted to use a Struts/Spring IoC managed action for it. If you have a Struts option, I'll appreciate hearing it.
