Java – in addition to a servlet, it also filters the mapping of all content for struts 2?

I have a struts 2 (2.1.8.1) web application My web XML looks like,

<filter>
    <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
  </filter>

  <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>

This is configured to map all requests to struts filters I want to add a servlet to my web application I want to send all requests with a specific URL pattern to the servlet I hope everything else can get into my struts servlet

I know I can only map "*. Action" to struts servlets, but I hate it Action is at the end of all my URLs

Solution

In your struts Add to XML:

<constant name="struts.action.excludePattern" value="/ServletToExcludeFromStruts*"/>

For multiple exclusions, the values are also separated by commas see http://struts.apache.org/2.2.1/docs/webxml.html
