http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13878 Form tag eats action value with default servlet mapping ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-10-27 22:17 ------- I would say that the comment from the original bug author is right: "[...] suggests that you map the servlet to a URL that includes either some prefix or suffix, such as "/exec" or "*.do" [...] unacceptable [...]" I prefer straight urls too. A well designed web-app does not make transparent to the user, where some servlets are called, since it can be a possible point of attack. Sorry that I duplicated the bug, but bugzilla is really *NOT* well suited to locate existent bugs. :o( The part of the servlet spec "* A string containing only the '/' character indicates the "default" servlet of the application. In this case the servlet path is the request URI minus the context path and the path info is null." only refers to the servlet mapping. URLs relative to the servlet mapping should be resolved correctly anyway. BTW: The servlet mapping as described by the spec is a completely unsatisfactory solution - a plain regexp pattern would suite some requirements significantly better. Furthermore the description is ambigous: If there are concurrent mappings it is not clear, whether the closest or the widest match should considered to be a hit. Any reasonable impl. would catch the *closest* match imho. The tomcat impl. doesnt (sic!). The best way to circumvent this is to leave all the URL mapping to httpd (mod_rewrite) and contact the plain vanilla web app via mod_proxy or mod_jk2. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-dev-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-dev-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
