Nice work! I've just started working on a Rails app to get more familiar with the Rails framework and I must say I like the Rails "routing" scheme a lot! The closer we can get to the way Rails does things, the better we are in my opinion.

With WW-2163 [1], Struts can make the distinction between a setting that has Struts match all URL's, and one that only matches URLs with no extension, and furthermore, extension and no extension URLs can co-exist. Accordingly, I changed the default 'struts.action.extension' setting from 'action' to 'action,,' This allows the <default-action-ref> element in struts.xml to do what you would expect - let you define an action to handle directory URLs such as http://example.com/myapp/mynamespace/ In a future release, maybe 2.2, I'd like to get rid of the .action extension altogether. I think one of the key strengths of Struts 2 is its closeness to the HTTP protocol, and therefore, I think it has great potential to be a solid REST platform, an architectural style that leverages the features of HTTP rather than fight them. Here's to the death of the .action extension! :) Don [1] https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2163 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
