meh, this one didn't put up much of a fight :). With these set
("regex" alternative implementation of patternMatcher):
<constant name="struts.enable.SlashesInActionNames" value="true"/>
<constant name="struts.mapper.alwaysSelectFullNamespace" value="false"/>
<constant name="struts.patternMatcher" value="regex" />
I can do this:
<package name="regex" extends="struts-default" namespace="/">
<action name="/{bio:.+}/test/{name}/.*"
class="org.apache.struts2.showcase.UITagExample">
<result>/tags/ui/example.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>
calling "/WorldDomination/test/LexLuthor" will set "bio" to
"WorldDomination" and "name" to "LexLuthor". The regular expressions
can be simple, like {name} or they can define the field name and the
regex like "{name:some_reg_ex_here}". The notation {X} still works, so
this can be done:
<result>/tags/ui/{2}.jsp</result>
Idea shamelessly copied from JAX-RS, I will commit it later when I
have more tests in place.
