can i get ".do" from struts?
hihi,
does struts have a built-in way to get the literal ".do" (or whichever
extension URL ending pattern you specify) string?
or put another way, can anyone suggest an elegant way to forward to
another action?
ie. when creating an ActionForward object, it needs "/myAction.do"
instead of "/myAction"...
i don't want to hard-code any struts-config information in my code per
se, so what i'm doing is getting the desired ActionConfig based on my
Action class's fqn. and then interrogating the object for the path
value which gives me "/myAction", but i need to append the stripped
away URL ending pattern (in my case ".do").
anyone have elegant solutions for this?
please and thanks,
woodchuck

thanks Rick! in my Action class i have to do this:
this.getServlet().getServletContext().getAttribute(Globals.SERVLET_KEY)
and it returns "*.do"

Taking a quick look at the form tag source code it looks like that
mapping is placed in scope under the Globals.SERVLET_KEY key. So if you
wanted I guess you could get it out like...
${applicationScope["org.apache.struts.action.SERVLET_MAPPING"]}
I still don't see why you'd really need to do this though. Couldn't you
just make the mapping something like /app/* or /control/* something VERY
generic. If it's so generic I don't think you'd ever need to change it.
You could even make it /a/* or whatever.

hi Bill, thanks for your excellent suggestions! global forwards will
work nicely as well. however, i've already designated global forwards
only for the main menus in my web app, and adding other non-main
forwards there will break my convention. otherwise it's definitely
another good possiblity!

Why don't you use global forwards defined in your struts-config.xml.
Essentially creating a logical URL referencable by name. You can even
have a query string in the forward's path.
In your struts-config.xml:
<foward name="gotoFoo" path="/Foo.do"/>
On a JSP page:
<html:link forward="gotoFoo">Goto Foo</html:link>
Or in an action:
return mapping.findForward("gotoFoo");
