[jira] Created: (WW-2163) Support actions with no extensions,
including directory urls
Support actions with no extensions, including directory urls
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WW-2163
URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2163
Project: Struts 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Dispatch
Affects Versions: 2.0.9
Reporter: Don Brown
Fix For: 2.1.0
Currently, you cannot really expose your actions without using an extension via the 'struts.action.extension' setting. If you set it to an empty string, Struts will try to handle every URL as an action, not only blocking webapp static resources but also its internally served static resources. Furthermore, you cannot define an action that will respond to a directory url (http://foo.com/myapp/dir/), without using a workaround like a redirection jsp page.
This improvement would allow actions to be accessed without an extension, but still allow static resources and other extensions. In otherwords, the death of the ".action" extension.

[jira] Resolved: (WW-2163) Support actions with no extensions,

Don Brown resolved WW-2163.
---------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Assignee: Don Brown
Fixed, and as part of the fix, I changed the default struts.action.extension setting to 'action,,'. This will allow struts to properly use the <default-action-ref> element in struts.xml to work as expected for the package's namespace.

[jira] Commented: (WW-2163) Support actions with no extensions,
including directory urls

Eric Nelson commented on WW-2163:
---------------------------------
Adding this to the default behavior was a bad idea. This just bit us in the butt. We have urls such as http://www.fake.com/download which is mapped by a servlet to a JSP. After upgrading to the newer version of Struts2 with this change, all of our urls stopped working because Struts thought this was a valid action by default, and redirected to login since my default interceptor is for authenticated pages. This should be removed as a default setting and anyone who needs it can explicitly set it in their own struts.properties or struts.xml file. This caused me a few hours of headache, and I'm sure it'll get others too.
