[jira] [Updated] (WW-4656) Wildcard redirect and path /static/

["Lukasz Lenart (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4656?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Lukasz Lenart updated WW-4656:
------------------------------
    Description: 
I do stumble over a new behaviour in Struts 2.5.

Working with:
{code:xml}
<action name="*">
  <result type="redirect">
    <param name="location">/home</param>
    <param name="namespace">/</param>
  </result>
</action>
{code}

To catch/redirect unknown request to the home page, the following requests will not be processed:

https://localhost:8443/myApp/static/whatever

The path /static/ seems to trigger a "special" behaviour since Struts 2.5?

There is also an inconsistency between:

https://localhost:8443/myApp/whatever/ (correct 404)
https://localhost:8443/myApp/static/ (empty white page)

Why is the path /static/ treated differently, and where is the exact class responsible for this?

Thanks for considering.
