I'm setting up an application that uses Struts 2.3 and Tiles 2. Some pages will be heavily Struts driven (e.g. lots of CRUD) while others will be simple, static HTML/JSP pages. I want to set up some actions that handle specific functionality and send all other URLs to a default action, which will check to see if the appropriate static page exists based on the supplied path. If not, a 404 error or some such will be generated instead.
In struts.xml, I have applied a basic configuration that appears like it should work; however, Struts seems to ignore the wildcard action. The non-wildcard actions work just fine.
Here's the struts.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.3//EN"
"http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.3.dtd">
<struts>
<!--
You could also set the constants in the struts.properties file
placed in the same directory as struts.xml
-->
<constant name="struts.devMode" value="true" />
<!-- <constant name="struts.mapper.class" value="rest" /> -->
<constant name="struts.action.extension" value="," />
<constant name="struts.enable.SlashesInActionNames" value="true"/>

</struts>
And here's an example of the error I receive:
There is no Action mapped for namespace [/] and action name [page] associated with context path []. - [unknown location]
