Subject: Using patterns for map:act elements ??
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

In an effort to reduce the number of match patterns in my sitemap, I 
have a desire to dynamically set the action handler.

I had hopped to find that map:act types support variable  substitution, 
but that appears to not be the case.


For example, I would want a URL like: 
http://localhost:8080/myApp/form1.do  to use a generic match pattern 
like below.

Define:   <map:action name="process-form1" src="ProcessForm"/>

Then have a generic match pattern like so:
<map:match pattern="*.do">
    <map:act type="process-{1}">  //It would appear that this is NOT an 
option.
    .......
</map:match>

Any ideas on how generalize 100+ specific actions?

I could have a factory that creates/manages the actions internally and 
basically define one action handler in the pipeline that utilizes my 
factory.  I would think that this isn't a unique use case.

Input is appreciated.

-Eric
