[OT] Re: Hiding .do
I forgot this about Struts 1.2.4, James. Good point.
I think your thing with the marketing people is funny. While I am
certain it was not so funny for you at that time, I would have liked
to be a potted plant in the room for that discussion.
You can expect, I think, marketing people to have this problem, since
programming engineers have the same problem constantly. The idea of a
URL as an "address" rather than a code or a protocol to be read is
constantly causing difficulty. You should have changed the .do to
.HANKY_PANKY to avoid the seeming connection to extensions for files
at all. LOL

If you want to bend some minds, map the controller to "*.html" instead
(only works if you don't have any static html pages, of course). Then
be prepared to smile while you answer the inevitable "how'd you do
that" question :-).
