Well, that's a different question ;-) Another approach would be to use urls like,
http://www.test.com/do/getClipper/search/action%3dsearch/pageNumber%3d12/ where the part after the search is passed as the query string as "extra information". I'm told this would make some proxy servers happier too ;-) There's been talk of this before. Craig implied that it was already supported, but I haven't tried it myself. http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg12716.html I do think it would be useful for the action mappings to be parsed as the HTTP servers parse them, so if /do/this/parm1 didn't match, it would try /do/this?parm1 instead. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Custom Software ~ Technical Services. -- Tel +1 716 737-3463 -- http://www.husted.com/about/struts/ Mike Bridge wrote: > > It's too bad there isn't a way to do that.
