If you don't have any other resources ending in .xml .html .etc inside your webapp you can modify the filter-mapping, if you do then you might have to consider the idea of a directory in which all objects are mapped to actions and a separate directory where they are not, e.g.;
http://domain.com/struts2/stuff.html <-- Static HTML http://domain.com/struts2/dynamic/stuff.html <-- Goes to an action.

I had thought about doing something like what you specified Roger, by passing the return type as a parameter. However, in keeping with what seems to be fairly standard RESTful web service protocol, I was hoping to have the return type specified after the query name. Then from the users perspective the URL file type that the request matches the return type, rather than it just being some random query. It's true that I could also build the return type into the URL path, but that would give me several different actions for each query, and I'd like to have one Action object that knows how to get all of the POJOs that are associated with the query and then use the results to mux out how to serialize the POJOs into the correct format (e.g. REST xml, json, rss, etc.) So is there any way to tell Struts to ignore the extension (*.do or *.action) and just assume that all requests into the application (or namespace) are in fact actions it should execute? I'm suspecting not, as this might block access to other non-action resources, but if there is some way to set up a * pattern, that might work too. Thanks for all of your help. -- Kevin Conroy E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 5/24/07, Roger Varley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm still a newbie as well so take this with a pinch of salt.
