           Summary: Wildcard support in global forward declarations (and
                    possibly other places)
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.2.4
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Controller
        AssignedTo: dev@struts.apache.org
        ReportedBy: maslovsky@mail.ru


It would be great to have wildcard support not only in action definitions, but 
also in some other struts-config elements, such as global forwards, ex:

<forward name="/admin/*User" path="/admin.do?method={1}User"/>

This should allow to use forward definitions like "editUser", "deleteUser", 
etc.

This also might be usefull for form bean definitions. Consider the follwing 
example:

<action path="/user*" type="com.company.{1}User" name="{1}UserForm" input="{1}
User.jsp"/>

I may have, say 5 actions, most would be using form beans with the same 
properties ��� different name, but one of them uses a different form bean:

<form name="*UserForm">
   <form-property name="name" type="String">
</form>

<form name="changePasswordUserForm">
   <form-property name="name" type="String">
   <form-property name="oldPassword" type="String">
   <form-property name="newPassword" type="String">
</form>

����� wildcards would allow to avoid defining several form beans with the same 
set of properties but just different names.
