Parameters after the action name, annotation based config not working

["Illes, Szabolcs" <S....@nature.com>]

Hi All,

 

I'd like to report a possible bug in struts2 annotation based action
mapping:

 

I wanted to have slashes in my action names and use them as parameters
(REST style service)

 

For example:

 

The action name is /opds/0028-0838/2009 and is mapped to EPubOPDSAction 

 

The problem is that it only works when I use the struts2.xml to setup
map the action:

 

struts.xml:

 

<struts>

  <constant name="struts.enable.SlashesInActionNames" value="true"/>

  <constant name="struts.mapper.alwaysSelectFullNamespace"
value="false"/>

  <constant name="struts.objectFactory" value="guice"/>

 

  <package name="rest" extends="struts-default" namespace="/epub/rest">

 

    <action name="opds/*/*"
class="com.nature.mobile.epub.actions.EPubOPDSAction">

      <param name="issn">{1}</param>

      <param name="year">{2}</param>

     <result>/WEB-INF/content/epub/rest/opds.jsp</result>

     </action>

    </package>

</struts>

 

Action class: ( nothing special)

public class EPubOPDSAction extends ActionSupport implements
ServletRequestAware {

    public String execute() throws Exception { ... }

 

   public void setYear(String year) { }  // gets called with year

 

    public void setIssn(String issn) {  } // gets called with issn

}

 

but not when using java annotations:

 

struts.xml:

<struts>

  <constant name="struts.enable.SlashesInActionNames" value="true"/>

  <constant name="struts.mapper.alwaysSelectFullNamespace"
value="false"/>

  <constant name="struts.objectFactory" value="guice"/>

</struts>

 

@Namespace("/epub/rest")

@Result(name="success", location="/WEB-INF/content/epub/rest/opds.jsp")

public class EPubOPDSAction extends ActionSupport implements
ServletRequestAware {

 

@Override

@Action(value="opds/*/*",

            params={"issn","{1}", "year", "{2}"})

    public String execute() throws Exception { ... }

 

   public void setYear(String year) { } 

 

    public void setIssn(String issn) {  }

 

}

 

 

This one just throws an exception that there is no action mapped for
/opds/0028-0838/2009 

 

I'm using:

struts2-core 2.1.8.1

and 

struts2-convention-plugin

2.1.8.1

 

Any idea?

 

Thanks,

Szabolcs
