When defining an action element in the struts-config.xml file, we always utilize the
path attribute. For example, I have two actions defined in my struts-config.xml
*snippet*
<action path="/home"
type="foo.strutsApp.ContentAction"
name="contentForm">
<forward name="fail" path="/Login.jsp" />
</action>
<action path="/login"
type="ginsu.strutsApp.LoginAction"
name="loginForm">
<forward name="fail" path="/Login.jsp" />
</action>
*/snippet*
Say I want to make the first action element be invoked by any path that starts with
"/home" (like "/homeshop" or "/homes"). Basically, can I define a wildcard in the
path attribute? I would like to have the ability to have a few different URLs mapped
to the same action WITHOUT having to define all of those relative URLs in more action
elements.
In essence I would like to have something along the lines of:
<action path="/home*"
type="foo.strutsApp.ContentAction"
name="contentForm">
<forward name="fail" path="/Login.jsp" />
</action>
So that the path attribute is mapping potentially any number of relative URLs that
begin with "/home" to this action. This would allow me some great flexibility for
real time content updating.
Is this possible? TIA.
