understanding jboss framework - URL

I am trying to figure out what the following url does. http://server/abc/testmodule/runtest.do?action=edit&id=123

I am new to jboss/jsp but I am very familiar with .net. When I see this url, I expect to see the physical folder called "abc" and subfolder called "testmodule"开发者_运维问答 and a physical file "runtest". am i wrong? what does runtest.do? is "runtest" class and "do" is a method within it?

It could be anything--URLs can map to arbitrary resources. It might be a Struts action, it might be a servlet, it might be a Spring controller, etc.

You'd need to check your web.xml file and/or any framework configuration files, or provide more information.

(Also, JBoss isn't a framework, it's a Java EE container :)

The /abc entry is the name of the context in which the application is running. If it's a web app, deployed in a WAR file, that would be the name of the WAR that's deployed (abc.war).

The .do extension suggests a Struts or JSF action mapping.

There are two parameters passed in the GET: action, with value edit, and id, with value 123. Looks like a REST-ful API to me.
