>    Affects Versions: 2.1.2
>         Environment: Windows XP Professional & BEA Weblogic Server v10

> The Developers Guide (a great guide, by the way) states that two asterisks ( ** ) will match zero or more characters, including the slash character, for action names:   http://struts.apache.org/2.1.2/docs/wildcard-mappings.html
> So I interpret that to mean:
> <action  name="/edit**"   class="org.xyz.MyAction">
>    <result>/myPage.jsp</result>
> </action>
> Would work for the following URLs:
> http://myDomain/edit
> http://myDomain/editabc
> http://myDomain/edit/abc
> It does work for all words that begin with edit (http://myDomain/editabc)
> However, it is not allowing the slash character (http://myDomain/edit/abc)
> When it encounters a slash after edit it assumes the following text is an action name and returns an error like this:
> "There is no Action mapped for action name abc."
> Did I misinterpret the page's explanation?
