struts 2.2.1 appends ".action" suffix to name

My project changed version of struts from struts-2.1.8.1 to struts-2.2.1. We don't use suffix ".action" for naming, after migration it is appeared. For older version html code looks like:

<form id="Login" name="Login" action="/fm2/Login" method="post">

But new struts renders the same form:

<form id="Login" name="Login" action="/fm2/Login.action" method="post"

So difference that .action has been added. What's wrong with new release?

I removed the struts2-convention-plugin-2.1.8.1 jar from my web-inf/lib and it started to work fine. Hope this helps... cheers...

I have a similiar problem when change to struts-2.2.1 from struts-2.1.8.1. Struts-2.2.1 will add the ".action" extension automatically for redirectAction result. This is very annoying.

This has not changed, AFAIK. Be sure to understand the difference between the "struts action" and the "action attribute of a HTML FORM" element

Typically, to render a FORM tag in Struts2 you'd use a (Struts2) form tag - its action attribute corresponds to the name of a Struts2 action, which corresponds to a url without the suffix (by default '.action', but you can change it)

So, the Struts2 tag 

<s:form action="/fm2/Login">

would typically produce the HTML output

<form action="/fm2/Login.action">

This is the default extension (and should be in 2.1.8.1 too).

You can change it in your struts.xml:

<constant name="struts.action.extension" value="whatever" />
