>             Project: Struts 2
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.11.1
>         Environment: Tomcat 5.5
>            Reporter: Aravindan Ramkumar

> I don't want .action or .do on the end of the url's, so I set struts.action.extension='' (empty string)
> Now this leaves me with a bit of a problem serving static content, since struts swallows up all of my requests, and nothing gets through to the default servlet.  I opened up the code for FilterDispatcher and DefaultActionMapper. The FilterDispatcher would serve static files, if struts.constants.serve.static is true and the action mapper returns null. But the problem is if the extension is set as an empty string, DefaultActionMapper returns the name of the static file as the action name.  Struts cannot find a action with that name and forwards to the default action (if present) or throws an exception.
> A quick and dirty way to fix this would be to patch the DefaultActionMapper or add a "black list" of urls to be ignored by FilterDispatcher.
