Hello,

I was given a web appliation where i have to extend the functionalit. i have a struts configuration file which has got duplicate path elements.
i dont understand what could be need to have duplicate paths offcourse one is forwarding direclty to the jsp where as other has got a correspding action. I would appreciate if any one can clear me this doubt.
Here is an example of what i was trying to say
<action path="/selectHierarchy" forward="/jspHierarchySelection.jsp" />
<action path="/selectHierarchy" type="HierarchySelectionAction" name="dynaHierarchySelectionForm" validate="false">
<forward name="success" path="/jsp/reporting-mso/HierarchySelection.jsp" />
</action>

Hello Srilatha,
Thanks for your response.
May be i was not clear with the question.My question is
"which action is being processed when a request arrives", there are two actions which services the same path.which path is processed by the request processor. Hope i am clear this time.

Duplicate action paths are not supported. Struts will use one and ignore the other, but I'm not sure which will be used and which ignored.

My guess is that the previous developer decided to change the mapping, but forgot to remove the old one.

Merrill Higginson , i appreciate your response.
It is not the case with a single action which i can think of as an unintentional, almost it is the case with 50% of the action mappings.

i made a little search and found this... hope this may help you

if you define duplicate action-mapping (by
path) or form-beans (by name), the last one is loaded silently.

Thanks Srilatha for your interest in answering my question.
what would be the need to have duplicate actions if the later is processed.I am trying to find out that.because the earlier developer made the duplicate actions deliberately.
