It occured to me that we may have gotten off track on this thread. The restriction that Struts 1.0.x places on URIs is that there can only be only one servlet mapping (and only one ActionServlet).
Of course, if you are using extension mapping, then any *.do (or whatever) URI will be processed against the ActionMappings. You can have as many mappings as you like that all point to the same resources. So there can be mappings for pathA, B, and C, that all reference ActionA. If the paths you are used to looking at live on the left side of the dot, then you can just have duplicate ActionMappings for each path. Perhaps before these paths ended in *.jsp and now they will end in *.do, but that might not matter. If it did, I have heard of people doing things like changing the JavaServerPages service to use another extension and then mapping *.jsp to the ActionServlet. Though, I've never tried this myself =:) As along as you can live with a consistent extension mapping throughout your application, then the rest of URI is yours to mangle as you please. The ActionMapping just sees it as an arbitrary string that it associates with an ActionMapping decorator. The ActionMapping decorator can in turn reuse whatever Actions, pages, and other resources you like. Of course, the next question might be "How can I get the same html:form tag to submit to different ActionMappings (to retain the different paths)?" You can, but it's not pretty -- I think I feel a tip coming on =:0) -Ted. 11/22/2002 12:18:16 PM, "Nelson, Laird" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Hi; I'm looking at the v1.0.2 ActionServlet's addServletMapping() method, >and I'm noticing that it only handles the case where the ActionServlet has >one servlet mapping associated with it.
