Thanks Bill - my action class is actually called SubdivisionController. Interesting you're getting responses for ftl requests.
These URI's resolve for me: http://localhost:8080/lotmap/subdivision/id1 http://localhost:8080/lotmap/subdivision/id1.xml and these fail with a 404 http://localhost:8080/lotmap/subdivision/id1.jsp (can't find local file - see below) http://localhost:8080/lotmap/subdivision/id1.ftl (nothing logged at all) and these are what I think should be the relevant templates WEB-INF/content/subdivision-show.jsp WEB-INF/content/subdivision-show.ftl The URI with no extension is resolved via a forward from ServletDispatcherResult. It is the only one of this group that is handled this way though. Of note, for the cases that succeed, the action method appears to be unknown in the ActionInvocation: DEBUG [btpool0-2] RestWorkflowInterceptor.debug(57) | Skipping Interceptor... Method [show] found in exclude list. DEBUG [btpool0-2] RestActionInvocation.debug(57) | Executing action method = null which I think means that a registered UnknownHandler should process this Result, based on the RestActionInvocation class's invokeAction() method. And the only UnknownHandler candidate I see is Convention's, and it seems to give up on unknown methods. So I don't think I found the right handler. It's a bit confusing that with no extension the result is processed, and with a .jsp extension, this error is logged: 2009-03-11 07:11:51.703::WARN: PWC6117: File "D:\projects\lotmap-restful-ep\src\main\webapp\subdivision\F11.jsp" not found And for the .ftl extension there is nothing logged at all. Musachy - thanks for the reminder, in haste I had blurred the distinction. It appears that the Rest plugin's strategy for result handling defers to Convention or struts core definitions, but this appears to be working only for the rest-plugin's default extension "" (or "xhtml" to be more correct). The rest plugin does properly handle different ContentTypes based on extension via its Interceptor, which is much different than the Action mechanism's use of extension to map result type. I think my URL's above and their content templates are accurate. I have also tried some nonsensical templates (for a rest-plugin action) like WEB-INF/content/subdivision-success.ftl WEB-INF/content/subdivision.ftl I wonder if something else is required to invoke the FreemarkerTemplateEngine for the ftl extension. The rest plugin seems to squash this somehow. What am I missing...?
