I've been meaning to put together a patch to make modules work with URL prefix mapping. This would fit in naturally with that. But I don't know when I'll find time to get to that so if you have a chance to look at this first, feel free ;-)

Not sure :)  I personally would consider it a bug :)

I made a Wiki entry for this yesterday by the way, so at least there is documentation of it now. I agree though that it shouldn't be a big change and would be nice to "fix" it (or, alter the feature, depending on what it is!).

Want to throw a patch up Laurie? If not, I think I could squeeze in time to write the 3-5 lines of code it'd likely be :)

Ouch, is that considered a feature or a bug? :-) It probably wouldn't be hard to change Struts to ignore the anchor if such a change were acceptable.

As you found out, Struts can't find an Action mapping with an anchor added
to it... it's trying to find, literally, an ActionMapping named
"someAction.do#someLabel".  You might, I suppose, be able to make that
literally your mapping path, I've never tried that, but I don't think
that's what you'd want to do even if it works.

The "typical" solution to this is a little bit of scripting on your page
like so:

<head>
<script>
  function jumpToAnchor() {
    <% if (request.getAttribute("hash") != null) { %>
      location.hash = "<%=request.getAttribute("hash")%>";
    <% } %>
  }
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="jumpToAnchor();">

Then, instead of adding the anchor name to the forward you are requesting,
you add an attribute in your Action named "hash" to the request just
before you return the forward, with a value of the name of the anchor you
want to jump to.
