Description

It seems Struts 2 Portlet does not work if "struts.action.extension" is set to something different - say "do" - instead of default "action".

When provided other action action like "do" getting following exception...

Unable to locate action mapping for request, probably due to an invalid action path: /edit/index - [unknown location]

When struts.action.extension is reverted back to default i.e. "action", everything works smoothly.

Sorry if am missing any portlet specific configuration to handle different action extensions.

Cheers!
