Consider the following simple use case: A user performs a search, gets a list of results, views one entry in detail and then bookmarks it. Both the result list as well as the entry viewing page are handled by Struts. If the links in the result list are generated with the html:link tag and not hardcoded to a 'nice' path, but directly to the action, the link the user follows will look something like '/app/view.do?id=x', and this is what gets bookmarked. Now ten years later, the same user returns, but alas, we no longer use Struts and Struts naming conventions, you get the idea :-)

That is my current workaround. The drawback is that I have to include a forward for each and every resource explicitely; the idea was to define a default action (unknown="true") that handles this automatically, but apparently this may not be possible after all?
