hi, just for future reference (in case somebody searches for the same problem), i found the "solution" in the README.txt for verson 1.2.8.
================= KNOWN LIMITATIONS: ================= The following items identify functionality areas that have not yet been fully implemented or tested: * Use of the "forwardPattern" or "pagePattern" attributes on the <controller> element. seems to me this feature has not been implemented yet.... i was able to solve this by using tiles for page layouting, cause tiles doesn't use any module prefixes etc. but loads a jsp directly from the file system (while a "forward" action in struts-config.xml sends the servlet container the URI that is prefixed with the module path, and the container loads the page/URI from filesystem). kr, guenther > -----Original Message----- > From: Günther Wieser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, January 27, 2006 2:23 PM > To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' > Subject: problem with forwardPattern and modules > > hi, > > i'm trying to configure the controller using <controller > forwardPattern="/$P" pagePattern="/$P"/> > > so that it looks for jsp pages in the webroot folder, no > matter if we are inside a module or not. > but whatever i enter in the forwardPattern or pagePattern > properties, no changes in the behaviour. > > went through the source code of 1.2.8, and in > RequestProcessort.internalModuleRelativeForward() i can see > that this methd doesn't take care of any patterns, just > combines the module prefix with the URI to get the new URI. > > any ideas? > > kr, > guenther > > -- > Günther Wieser > > creative-it > Guglgasse 6/1/11/1 > A-1110 Wien > Austria > http://www.creative-it.com > > "2 Dinge sind unendlich: Das Universum und die Dummheit der > Menschheit, aber beim Universum bin ich mir nicht so ganz sicher." > Albert Einstein > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
