Mapping Problems

Is it possible to map requests to an Action using a pattern?

I would like to map "*.html" to my Action.

Using Tomcat, if I request "/thing.html", I get a 400 saying "Invalid 
path /thing was requested". A few snippets:

In web.xml:
   <servlet-mapping>
   	<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
	<url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>

In struts-config.xml:
<action path="*.html" 
type="com.teachandtravel.presentation.actions.RenderPageAction" />

Thanks,

A.

P.S. I'm looking for a Best Practice on handling generic non-dynamic 
pages on a site using Tiles, which is what I'm trying to implement 
above. A better solution would be appreciated!

Adam,

I didi something similar with the following action definition:

        <action
            path="/myAction"
            type="my.actionClass"
            name="myForm"
            scope="request"
            validate="false"
            unknown="true">
        </action>

I is not important what action name (path) you use! With the parameter
unknown="true" struts handles all request which do not belong to another
action with this one (i.e. all *.html).

hope this helps
Rene
