Thoughts of using explicit regexps instead of wilcards for action mappings?

["Karr, David" <da...@wamu.net>]

One thing that's always bothered me a bit about using wildcards for
action mappings is that it's somewhat less self-documenting than I'd
like.  Although I like being more concise, I'd really rather have an
alternative form that is still concise but still specifies what possible
wildcard values to expect.

For instance, if instead of specifying an action name like "MyStuff_*",
I instead used a regular expression, like
"MyStuff_(add|save|load|delete)", that is still more concise than having
to repeat all the almost duplicate actions, but it says specifically
what patterns to expect.  The simplified wildcard system doesn't allow
for this.

Obviously, this would require a code change to allow regular expression
action name matching instead of the simplified regexp that is used now.

Has anyone ever considered this?

If your action extends ActionSupport, or implements TextProvider, or a 
TextProvider is in the ValueStack, then you can call one of the various 
getText() methods to access resources.

Something like the following should work:

<s:property value="getText(someProperty)"/>

ie. evaluate someProperty, then invoke the getText(String) method to get 
the resource with that name.

Struts Text & Property together(s:text and s:property

[Jishnu Viswanath <ji...@tavant.com>]

Hi all,
	I would like to achieve something like this <s:text name=<s:
property value="someProperty" /> />

I know this code is not going to work; in short the name that should
come is inside a property, 

Eg:-
someProperty = "my.text.label"
<s:property value=" someProperty "/> gives me my.text.label

<s:text name="my.text.label"/> give me the value I wanted.
But how can I get both at same time?

Any one has any idea?

PS: I am using struts 2 :)

I threw this together but don't use it any more:

You can plugin a regex matcher (default) or plaintext or others.

After using it for a while I found it more effective to build custom 
action mappers instead of over-engineer an all-purpose actionmapper.
