Specific wildcard pattern doesn't work in my struts.xml

I have an application in struts 2.3 and handled all requests by '/*' pattern to go to my struts application in web.xml it's ok and requests are comes in struts application. but problem is here in my struts.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC
    "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN"
    "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd">

<struts>

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

   <package name="default" namespace="/" extends="struts-default">
      <action name="en/*" class="ir.mr.khatami.action.SensationalRequestAction" method="respond">
        <param name="locale">en</param>
        <result name="reload">pages/sensational.jsp</result>
      </action>

   </package>

</struts>

in Web.xml i have

<filter>
    <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

urls : localhost:8080/en , localhost:8080/en123 are ok

but i want something like this :

localhost:8080/en/something

and

localhost:8080/en/something/more

Please review

https://struts.apache.org/docs/wildcard-mappings.html

The advanced title mention:

From 2.1.9+ regular expressions can be defined defined in the action name. To use this form of wild card, the following constants must be set:

<constant name="struts.enable.SlashesInActionNames" value="true"/>
<constant name="struts.mapper.alwaysSelectFullNamespace" value="false"/>
<constant name="struts.patternMatcher" value="regex" />

So your mapping must be

<action name="en/{type}" ...

You can read the type value in your action by simply adding String type with setter and getters.

PS: I can not test it right now but it seems to work
