action path="/Settings*"

[Amirtharaj Chinnaraj]

hi guys
iam working in a maintenance project i have found that one of my action tag in struts-config.xml contains action tag like

 <action path="/Settings*" scope="request" validate="false" type="com.softslate.commerce.administrator.core.SettingsFormAction" input="/Error.do" roles="STORE_SUPERUSER,STORE_ADMINISTRATOR,STORE_SETTNGS_EDIT,STORE_SETTINGS_VIEW">
<forward name="success" path="core.settings{1}" />
<forward name="failure" path="core.settings{1}" />
</action>  
 

i dont understood at what circumstances we can use this and also give me some explaination how this kind of mappings work

regards
amir

What you are seeing is an action mapping "wildcard". The following link explains how to use them.

If you access "/SettingsPhone.do" then success forward path will be "core.settingsPhone".

If you access "/SettingsMobile.do" then success forward path will be "core.settingsMobile".
