Description

Hi,

I'm testing Struts 2.0.12 and always have the "dojo is not defined" error. Looking at the source code of the page, there is a javascript import of http://foo/myapp/struts/dojo/dojo.js. But when I try to access this URL in my browser I get a 404 error. Looking at the source code of FilterDispatcher, it seems that the latest patch (SVN revision 687874) broke static content.
The problem is :
(In doFilter() line 411)
String name = resourcePath.substring("/struts".length());
(In findStaticResource line 443)
String name = cleanupPath(path);
with basically do path.substring(7) to also remove the "/struts" prefix.

As a result the content path of my "/struts/dojo/dojo.js" request become "ojo.js" and then 404.

According to me the fix would be to remove
String name = cleanupPath(path);
and also remove the ugly
cleanupPath(path)
methods.

Steps to reproduce: just try to run this application with 2.0.12 : http://struts.apache.org/2.0.12/docs/struts-2-spring-2-jpa-ajax.html
