[s2] Problem with resin

[Mike Baroukh <mb...@cardiweb.com>]

Hi.

I was using struts1 before.
Now, with struts2, there is no more servlet  but only a filter.
This seems to be a problem with (at least) resin :

1/ When using apache with resin, the apache plugin do not automatically 
handle /*.do.
I have to include in my httpd.conf
<LocationMatch /.*.do>
    SetHandler caucho-request
</LocationMatch>

May be because resin do not consider there is someting to serve : there 
is no servlet, just a filter.

2/ in a jsp, when I do
<jsp:include page="whatever.do"/>
I obtain a FileNotFoundException.

I tried to declare a servlet to handle *.do and now, there is no more 
error but, of course, the action is not called : it's the servlet that 
is called.

Am I doing something wrong ?
Is there a workaround ?
Ca someone tell explain what is the advantage of a filter instead an 
action ?

Thanks for any help.

Mike
