Well, I got my IDEA (http://www.intellij.com/idea) configuration set up to run Struts under Tomcat in the debugger (thank goodness for built-in remote debugging support!). Compiled the Struts source, compiled the struts-example source, started setting breakpoints and looking at things.
It turns out, as you all know, that the action names are post-mapping, so an /action/* servlet mapping converts an URI of /struts-example/action/logon to an action name of /logon. It also, of course, turns out that all HREF entries and other paths *do* include the /action context. Once I understood that, I was able to get rid of *.do. Next time I won't be so quick to ask questions :-) GOD I LOVE OPEN SOURCE! Cheers!
