You are correct. I know this from looking at the Struts ActionServlet source code that it is Struts looking for the 1 URL mapping. How else could Struts know to add the .do at the end (or /do/ at the beginning) of every request?
It parses the URL mapping in the web.xml and knows that is what needs to be appended. If there were multiple mappings I think it just takes the last one in the first or last one specified (can't remember off hand). If you wanted you could the URL mapping for "*.cool" or something and you will see Struts append that to your path. That way people would not know you are using Struts (maybe to fake out hackers). Glad to here it is working. -----Original Message----- From: Travis Stevens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 6:04 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: modules, somethings missing I cna't say that I really understand why my way didn't work. I really don't see a problem with having multiple mappings to an ActionServlet, at least on the tomcat side of things. Now that I think about it, struts accesses the web.xml file for some configuration information, maybe struts itself only looks for one action mapping when it does its internal configuration. Anyhow, I changed the mapping to *.do and everything works great, thanks Shane! -Trav Bailey, Shane C. wrote: > >I believe the problem is that you can only have 1 URL mapping to the Struts >Servlet. > >All you have to have is your first servlet-mapping.
