Re: prefix matching for an action

2001-09-27 Thread lisa ward

I am or should I say, have been trying to find a solution to this problem.  
I have a set of dynamically generated forwards with differing attributes 
that make up the query string for the forward.  Do your actions bypass your 
action form and go to the action class directly and if they do how do you 
initialize the properties in your action form class?  I know I should be 
trying to solve your problem, but maybe we could help each other out on this 
one seeing that we have the same problem.

Thanks
Lisa.

prefix matching for an action

2001-09-26 Thread Jeff Boortz

I am trying to achieve the following:


  

  


Essentially, I would like for a URL such as 

http://www.company.com/app/myAction/filename

to trigger my action (assume in this example that the
ActionServlet is mapped to "/app/*" in the web.xml
file).  I would like "filename" to be dynamic, so that
a user could essentially download the action's dynamic
responses with meaningful filenames.

To the best of my knowledge, Struts does not support
this.  The best workaround I have found is to make
this action the default action:



But I really don't want to have to do that, especially
since I will want to have many such action classes.

It looks like I should be able to extend some class
(ActionMapping?) in order to enable such a feature. 
But I am not sure what steps to follow.

Has anyone encountered a similar challenge?

Thanks
JB
