You are correct, #3 isn't possible right now with the rest plugin,
however, it is certainly on the near-term roadmap. What is needed is
the ability to define wildcards in the namespace, also known as url
templates. For example, you could do something like
@Namespace("/states/{state}") on your CitiesController class.
That feature won't be in Struts 2.1.0 (to be released very soon),
since it will require changes to XWork and 2.1.0 uses the released
XWork 2.1.0, however, I do plan to have it in XWork trunk in the next
few days.
The original Restful2ActionMapper will work with #3, but not #1 as it
will require "/states/" instead of "/states". That, and it is kinda
hard to use, IMO, requiring a strange incantation of configuration
(and I wrote a good bit of it).
