Don't expose .action to user?
Hi,
I am a struts newbie and am exploring struts2 for a website rewrite.
I don't want the user to know whether or not they are accessing an
action - and I don't want to expose the .action suffix in the url.
examples:
http://www.junitfactory.com/demo
- needs to go via DemoAction to /demo/index.jsp
http://www.junitfactory.com/faq
- will go straight to /faq/index.html
I came up with a way to do it.
My web.xml looks like this:
<display-name>JUnit Factory</display-name>
<filter>
<filter-name>struts</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.action</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>main.action</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
It looks like tomcat won't use main.action unless a file main.action
exists in the directory.
Most of the pages don't require an action and will just fall through to
index.html or index.jsp. For the pages that do require an action, I'll
create a main.action in the directory and an entry in struts.xml:
<package name="demo" extends="struts-default" namespace="/demo">
<action name="main" class="demo.DemoAction">
<result>/demo/main.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>
It seems to work in a simple example but, before I go too far, am I
missing something that is obviously stupid? Is there a better way to do
this?
Thanks,
Kevin

This is what happens:
There is no Action mapped for action name pages/index.html. - [unknown location]
Struts tries to handle everything, wouldn't it be nice to have a fall through?
If Struts can't find the URI within its mapping try to find if there is static content with that request.
I am using the action extension configured as an empty string but to avoid Struts trying to handle everything,
I mapped the struts filter to /logic/* .
I am still not convinced with my solution but at least the result is pretty clean and works for me.
And I can use RestFul without ".action" or map struts to serve dynamic files,
ex: "/logic/get/result.csv" "/logic/get/result.pdf"

Try it with the action extension configured to an empty string, and
see what happens.

Well...
How would you handle a situation that requires you to use an action with
slashes?
<action name="show/*" class="org.beyond.TestAction" method="{1}" />
Or even better, action with parameters in their uri. "show/{1}/{2}" ex:
"show/book/43"
It has its downfalls. I don't see myself creating hundreds of folders
and .action files. I wanted to use the restful mapper for RESTful URLs.

I use filters as welcome pages. I think that's part of Servlet 2.5.

I was *very* surprised to find that
<constant name="struts.action.extension" value="" />
actually seems to work as expected under Tomcat 5.5.
Hmmph!

I have a solution that seems to work. Feedback on whether it is a good
solution or rather, why it is not, would be wonderful.
Executive summary:
map *.action to struts filter
add main.action as the first entry in web.xml's welcome list
Have all user-visible urls look like directories:
http://www.junitfactory.com/demo
For urls that will be handled by an action, add a file main.action to
the directory.

You can't get rid of the ".action", at least in my tests I have not
being able to map a clean url without the ".action". Even the
Restful2ActionMapper requires a .action at the end.
To make it work without the action you can always set the struts2
extension to "" and map the struts2 filter to somewhere else than /* so
struts2 lets you serve other content.
web.xml:
<!-- snip -->
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/logic/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<!-- /snip -->
struts.xml:
<!-- snip -->
<constant name="struts.action.extension" value="" />
<!-- /snip -->
If someone knows other way without extra prefix and no suffix, please share.

Have you looked at using the restful url stuff?

I know you were joking but, for me, there are two concerns:
1. I want the urls to be memorable
www.junitfactory.com/demo
is easier to remember than
www.junitfactory.com/demo.action (or .htm or .html or .jsp)
2. I will almost certainly move part of my site to a CMS in the near
future and I don't want to break all the URLs

If obscuring the underlying technology is the primary concern, perhaps using
*.htm instead of *.action for struts 2 while using *.html for static could
be a solution. Then everyone would think you were writing it using Microsoft
technology :-)

Re: Don't expose .action to user?
Posted by Kevin Lawrence <ke...@diamond-sky.com>.
Hi Matt,
My solution does seem to work for the few simple cases that I tried. The
only overhead is that you have to create an empty main.action file in
each directory that corresponds with an action url.
That suits my purposes quite well as, despite best practice
recommendations, I don't want every page to go via struts. For the few
that do, I add the file. I don't want any user-visible urls to have
suffixes including (especially!) JSPs.
If I later want to add an action to a page that doesn't currently have
one, I add the action to struts.xml and add the file to it's directory.
I can't see any downsides but, again, I ask - am I missing something
really stupid?

I agree it would be nice if you could make totally clean URLs with Struts 2
-
as if you had each action registered as servlets in your web.xml.
Unfortunately, I don't believe it's possible. The only solution I can think
of is to use the UrlRewriteFilter.
http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite
While this solution would work, it'd require duplicating your action paths
in urlrewrite.xml. I guess the best solution is to write some sort of
adapter for the UrlRewriteFilter that sweeps your struts.xml and creates
rules to forward all action names (w/o an extension) to your actions with an
extension. In turn, you'd have to write outgoing rules that strip off the
extension from URLs.
If someone has a more elegant solution, I'd love to hear about it.

We had the same concern, so by putting this in the top of our struts.xml:
