I guess I am more saying, I'm pretty sure, by looking at Struts source code
(granted a week or so ago), that you can't do /*. So I am suggesting to use
a filter.
But looking at a different piece of the source maybe the solution is to not
have a mapping specified at all. Sounds ugly, dangerous; but there is a
comment in the source that states, " Use our servlet mapping, if one is
specified":
/**
* Return the form action converted into a server-relative URL.
*/
public static String getActionMappingURL(String action, PageContext
pageContext) {
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)
pageContext.getRequest();
StringBuffer value = new StringBuffer(request.getContextPath());
ModuleConfig config =
(ModuleConfig)
pageContext.getRequest().getAttribute(Globals.MODULE_KEY);
if (config != null) {
value.append(config.getPrefix());
}
// Use our servlet mapping, if one is specified
String servletMapping =
(String) pageContext.getAttribute(Globals.SERVLET_KEY,
PageContext.APPLICATION_SCOPE);
if (servletMapping != null) {
String queryString = null;
int question = action.indexOf("?");
if (question >= 0) {
queryString = action.substring(question);
}
String actionMapping = getActionMappingName(action);
if (servletMapping.startsWith("*.")) {
value.append(actionMapping);
value.append(servletMapping.substring(1));
} else if (servletMapping.endsWith("/*")) {
value.append(servletMapping.substring(0,
servletMapping.length() - 2));
value.append(actionMapping);
} else if (servletMapping.equals("/")) {
value.append(actionMapping);
}
if (queryString != null) {
value.append(queryString);
}
}
// Otherwise, assume extension mapping is in use and extension is
// already included in the action property
else {
if (!action.startsWith("/")) {
value.append("/");
}
value.append(action);
}
// Return the completed value
return (value.toString());
}

No, all I want is to route every request to a webapp through a Struts
controller servlet. The only obvious option, which is mapping the servlet to
the "/*" pattern in web.xml, doesn't seem to work. That's why I am wondering
if Struts supports this kind of mapping or not, or if this is a bug.
Thanks,
Paul
