what do I need to change in web.xml to omit the .action extension?

[Davie Lin]

Hey S2 experts

can anyone tell me what I can modified in web.xml to omit the .action extension? is it in <url-pattern></url-pattern> tag?
and if it is, how do I change it because the default for s2 is /*

Thanks in advance, much appreciated

In your struts.properties file you have to change the property struts.action.extension (see http://struts.apache.org/2.1.6/docs/strutsproperties.html).

XML configuration is preferred:

Thanks Gentleman,

I will try both struts.properties and web.xml to see which works better or just simply works for me

just one quick question, where does struts.properties should be, my guess now is /WEB-INF/classes

thanks

But I guess you should listen to Dave since he's more into Struts than me.

ok Gentlemen

Just want to report to you that in struts.xml

I have

  <constant name="struts.action.extension" value=",.do,.action">constant</constant>  

and it will omit the .action extension

just want to make sure one thing from Mr. Newton

Is this the XML configuration that you're referring to?

Thanks

[David Newton]

Yes. This would be shorter and clearer:

<constant name="struts.action.extension" value=",.do,.action" />
