Hi Kris, The examples I had given are simplified (probably too much so).
In practice, we need to allow search engine to be able to index the site correctly. Some of the search engines we work with have issues with "?" and query strings in general. Also in our app, the extra path info is used to indicate content. www.somehose.com/myapp/homepagelayout/file1.jsp So it is not really dynamic, in that sense. I see your point about additional path info causing action mapping to fail. Looks like it's just not possible with struts, regardless of container. I suppose I will have to use a filter to pre-process the request.

Having never used Resin, I'm in no position to comment on what can or can't be done with it. However, it seems like you're using path info where a request parameter would be a better fit. It sounds like "username" is actually dynamic, so it might really be "jim" or "bob" or "jimbob", right? So that you'd have: www.somehost.com/myapp/execute/edit?username=jimbob www.somehost.com/myapp/execute/view?username=jimbob In fact, from a Struts perspective, I'm pretty sure that the additional path info will cause it to fail when it attempts to find a matching path for an action mapping.
