## Class PrefixBasedActionMapper

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.DefaultActionMapper
  - - org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.PrefixBasedActionMapper

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    ActionMapper

      public class PrefixBasedActionMapper
      extends DefaultActionMapper
      implements ActionMapper

  A prefix based action mapper that is capable of delegating to other `ActionMapper`s based on the request's prefix.
  It is configured through struts.xml
  For example, with the following entries in struts.properties

       <constant name="struts.mapper.class" value="prefix"/>
       <constant name="struts.mapper.prefixMapping" value="/communities:pseudoRestful,/communityTags:pseudoRestful,/events:pseudoRestful,/mediaList:pseudoRestful,/users:pseudoRestful,/community:struts,/communityTag:struts,/event:struts,/media:struts,/user:struts,:struts"/>

  When `getMapping(HttpServletRequest, ConfigurationManager)` or `getUriFromActionMapping(ActionMapping)` is invoked, `PrefixBasedActionMapper` will check each possible prefix (url prefix terminating just before a /) to find the most specific ActionMapper that returns a mapping when asked to map the request. If none are found, null is returned for both `getMapping(HttpServletRequest, ConfigurationManager)` and `getUriFromActionMapping(ActionMapping)` methods.
