How to prevent the wildcard namespace in struts?

Question

I am facing a problem that I couldn't find a key word for googleing the following situation:

<package name="Main" namespace="/" extends="struts-default">
    <action name="administrator" class="com.xyz.AdminAction">
        <result name="success">/WEB-INF/jsp/admin.jsp</result>
    </action>
</package>

The above url should be http://xyz.com/administrator and it works fine. However, if I change the url to http://xyz.com/asdasd/asdasdasd/administrator and it still works, but I can't accept this! So any setting to tell struts only http://xyz.com/administrator is accepted? Thanks!

Set the alwaysSelectFullNamespace property to true.

From struts-default.properties:

### Whether to always select the namespace to be everything before the last slash or not
struts.mapper.alwaysSelectFullNamespace=true

XML configuration is preferred, so in your struts.xml:

<struts>
  <constant name="struts.mapper.alwaysSelectFullNamespace" value="true" />
  ...
