How to use pattern matching wild-card in action names?

Hi all,

I am trying to make my URLs more readable, and was hoping that I could use
pattern-matching wildcards in action declarations. I have not been able to
get it working so far.

In my struts.xml, I have:
<struts> 
    <constant name="struts.enable.SlashesInActionNames" value="true"/>
    <constant name="struts.action.extension" value="" /> 
    <package name="s2" extends="struts-default" namespace="/">
        <action name="widgets*" class="app.WidgetsAction" method="index">
            <result name="success">index.jsp</result>
        </action>
    </package>
</struts>

Now, /widgets get routed to be my action. /widgets1 also get routed to the
action as one would expect. But /widgets/1 does not get routed to my action.
Why is this so? I tried the pattern "widgets/*" also, but that does not work
either. I think I have not been able to coax Struts to have slashes in the
name of action. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Binil

Thanks Lukasz, using:

<package name="default" extends="struts-default" namespace="">
 ..
</package>

worked!

Hi,

If Struts2 couldn't find action in given namespace ("/") it will try
to find it in default namespace ("/" is not default namespace), remove
namespace declaration and try once again.

To answer my own question - wildcards do not seem to work if the namespace is
"/". I tried adding a namespace and it works. Can someone explain why this
is so?

<struts> 
    <constant name="struts.enable.SlashesInActionNames" value="true"/>
    <constant name="struts.action.extension" value=""/>
    
    <package name="default" extends="struts-default" namespace="/w">
        <action name="widgets/*" class="app.WidgetsAction">
            {1}
            <result name="success">/index.jsp</result>
        </action>
    </package>
</struts>

Thanks,
Binil

Have you set the "struts.enable.SlashesInActionNames" property to "true"?
