invalid paths - how are they handled

[Bosko Vukojevic <bo...@yahoo.com>]

Two of our existing apps are built with different Struts versions:
    1.1 and 1.0
 
I am not able to find information on how Struts framework handles invalid paths or where to tweak the existing capability. 
 
If this is a valid path:
    /en/ca/home.do
what is going to be returned to the user in this case:
    www.ourApplication.com/app/en/ca/homeFFFFF.do
 
Some kind of existing HTTP error (404 or similar) or something else?
 
thanks ...

If you don't have an action mapping that matches /en/ca/homeFFFFF.do 
(either explicitly or using wildcards) then Struts will do the same 
thing the Container would for an invalid URL not mapped to Struts: 
return a 404 error.

I'm not sure where (or if) that's documented, but it's trivial to test 
and see for yourself.
