You are right... I am just trying to catch those rare events.
Now here's something crazy: (and I have checked, and double checked,
restarted server, etc).
BUT if I add a to my action, the exception mapping WORKS. If I take it
away, the exception is not caught.
<action name="*" class="com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport">
bar
<interceptor-ref name="exception" />
<interceptor-ref name="defaultStack" />
<result type="velocity">/templates/screens/{1}.vm</result>
</action>
That works like a charm, remove the foo/bar and I get 500 error. struts.xml
file is the same as I posted.
Any ideas?
