Yes, like this:

 <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher</filter-class>
 <init-param>
       <param-name>pathPrefixes</param-name>
       <param-value>/super_folder</param-value>
  </init-param>

Is it possible to configure the lookup folders?

Re: FilterDispatcher and static resources

Posted by Musachy Barroso <mu...@gmail.com>.
 As long as no mapping is found for that *.html, and it is inside one
of the lookup folders (like "static") it should work.

Re: FilterDispatcher and static resources

Posted by Matt Raible <mr...@gmail.com>.
We've had a fair amount of issues in the AppFuse project using *.html
as an extension. This is because some plugins and such use *.html
files and Struts attempts to serve them up as Actions rather than
plugins. Will this fix that problem? We've added a StaticFilter[1]
that attempts to fix it, but it doesn't seem to work very well. For
example, debug=console doesn't work with it[2].

Re: FilterDispatcher and static resources

Posted by Musachy Barroso <mu...@gmail.com>.
I'm ready to commit this, but I guess I will wait until Don cuts the
new build. This is how it works:

1. Static content lookup was refactored to DefaultStaticContentLoader
which implements StaticContentLoader.
2. DefaultStaticContentLoader  does everything FilterDipatcher did
before, but it also searches for resources inside a folder called
"static". So users don't have to call the folder "struts". New folders
can be added passing parameters to FilterDispatcher, like before, but
the urls have to starts with "/static" so we have some way to identify
them.
3. New extension point added "struts.staticContentLoader" to provide a
custom loader

So the 2 uses cases are:

1. User wants to add a new resource called "test.js" to her plugin.
She adds this file under "/static/test.js" and builds the url like:
    <s:url value="/static/test.js" ..>

2. User wants to add a new resource called "test.js" to her plugin
under folder "/super_folder/test.js". She adds a parameter to the
filter:
  <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher</filter-class>
  <init-param>
       <param-name>pathPrefixes</param-name>
       <param-value>/super_folder</param-value>
  </init-param>

  and builds the url like:
  <s:url value="/static/test.js" ..>
