In the context of an tag, for instance for a login action, we previously always coded forms as :
....
And in the struts.xml we have been using :
content.login
content.menu
summary_input
welcome
This has worked in the past and allowed us to not only use the action="login" to target the execute method of the action, but also to build links to, for instance, login_checkStatus.action to target other, specific methods within the action. I am not sure this Is a common/best practice, I had no prior struts2 experience before joining this company and this is how a lot of the existing functionality is coded. (If this is wrong/there is a better way, please let me know)
Now randomly, this fails to generate the proper action url in the html (it is missing the '.action', which results in a 404 once you post the form)
The only workaround we have found so far is to add the '.action' suffix to the
s:form's action attribute. Before it was always added for us by struts.
So now we are having success with
...
I can only assume that this has been affected by the changes related to S2-015 and the wildcard action matching.
