Hi, If a Struts 2.1.6 webapp's action extension is set to nothing in struts.properties via struts.action.extension=
Then all the javascript files normally accessible within the Dojo plugin become inaccessible, i.e. the Struts filter believes requests for these files are requests for actions. Can anyone suggest a way around this? Thanks, Rich P.S. a more detailed explanation is provided below. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Rauser [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 05 March 2009 12:20 To: [email protected] Subject: Struts 2.1.6 - No Action Extension, Cannot Access Dojo Javascript Files Hi all, I recently began migrating a working Struts 2.0.11 app to Struts 2.1.6. This has been a bit of a painful process, particularly moving from the SmartURLs plugin to the Convention plugin and from ajax tags to the Dojo plugin. Here is my problem: I am not using an action extension within my app, so within struts.properties I have set: struts.action.extension= This works fine in 2.0.11, and ajax works OK. In 2.1.6, I have found that if the action extension is set to nothing as above, then Struts does not expose any of the javascript files required for Dojo ajax, but instead thinks I am requesting an action instead of a JS file. E.G. If I navigate within my browser to http://<my domain>/struts/dojo/struts_dojo.js Then I get the following exception: There is no Action mapped for action name struts_dojo.js. - [unknown location] Naturally this means that any pages that use ajax via the Dojo plugin do not work properly as these JS files cannot be loaded from script tags. Now If I set the action extension within my 2.1.6 app to something, say struts.action.extension=action And then navigate to http://<my domain>/struts/dojo/struts_dojo.js I can access the javascript file. What I'm wondering is if this is expected behavior, or if this is a defect (as I could access JS files fine with no action extension in 2.0.11)? I can't see how I can reconcile these two behaviors that I desire in 2.1.6, i.e. no action extension + availability of Dojo JS files. Any thoughts on how I might do this?
