When using wildcards in struts action mappings struts support in JSPs is lost (all the 'form actions' and other 'form' properties are 'red' and there is no code insight etc.) For instance, if you have the following action mapping... <action path="/Product/Add/*" type="com.somecompany.products.{1}.AddProductAction" name="Add{1}ProductForm" input="/products/{1}/addProduct.jsp" validate="true"> <set-property property="cancellable" value="true"/> <forward name="cancel" path="/do/Product/New"/> <forward name="success" path="/do/Product/{1}/View"/> </action> In JSP's.... <html:form action="/Product/Add/Widget"> ...the action '/Product/Add/Widget' can not be resolved.
