The documentation was pretty misleading, I wasted a few hours just chasing stuff on the web, in the end it came down to just stepping through the code.
I tried to get the convention plugin working first but could not work out how to get that to work with my application although I never looked at the code for that. I am surprised that the REST stuff is quite low key with struts2, or that is the way it seems to me, it really is a make or break for my application/site as the URLs will need to get favourably viewed by google for it to work out. I am quite happy to knock up a small test app and write a doc on this for the WIKI. Can I just apply for a 'CLA'?
