struts2 newbie question

[Brian Bruns <br...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I'm building a non-essential app in struts2 to get my feet wet and ran into
something right away.  We make heavy use of LookupDispatchAction in struts1
and I'm having trouble figuring out how to do the same thing in struts2.

I see from the docs that you can use wildcards to map "saveFoo" and
"retrieveFoo" to map to save() and retrieve() respectively but how does one
use a single action and control which method is called based on, for
instance, the value of the submit button?

Thanks in advance,

Brian

D'oh.  I was looking at example 4 and mistook the s:form tag as a 
s:submit tag.  Glad it does what you want.

Hrm. Did you try it? I didn't actually see an example
on the http://cwiki.apache.org/WW/submit.html page
that used <s:submit.../>'s 'method' attribute.

Anyway, setting the 'method' attribute allows you to
choose which method in the form's action is run, like
the docs say.

<s:form action="submitTests" method="post">
  <s:submit/>
  <s:submit method="sub1"/>
</s:form>

Naked submit:
2007-02-08 07:32:29,437 DEBUG
s2samples.forms.SubmitTestsAction.execute:31 - Enter.

Method attribute set:
2007-02-08 07:29:36,328 DEBUG
s2samples.forms.SubmitTestsAction.sub1:20 - Enter.

The example makes me think that the method attribute enables the ability 
to specify "get" vs. "post" on a submit button by submit button basis 
within a single form (presumably via javascript).

Submit takes both action and method parameters;
perhaps that's what you're looking for?
