           Summary: New DispatchAction where 'parameter' determines the
                    method instead of the name of the parameter in the
                    request.
           Product: Struts
           Version: Unknown
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Controller
        AssignedTo: dev@struts.apache.org
        ReportedBy: leite@mail.com


I have a suggestion: add a new DispatchAction, or change the existing, to allow:

We've implemented a similar DispatchAction, wich uses the 'parameter' attribute 
of the action mapping to determine the method that should be executed, 
different from the existing DispathAction, where the 'parameter' attribute 
determine the name of the parameter in the request that indicate the method.


Now:
----------------
  <action
      path="/path/of/mapping"
      type="package.of.the.MyAction"
      name="myForm"
      scope="request"
      parameter="method"
  >
  </action

---

public class MyAction extends DispatchAction {

    public ActionForward open(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, 
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
	// code here
    }
}

--

In the request, there is a parameter named 'method' with the value 'open'. The 
value of this parameter determines the method that will be executed in the 
Action, wich is 'open()'.
----------------


Suggestion:
----------------
  <action
      path="/path/of/mapping"
      type="package.of.the.MyAction"
      name="myForm"
      scope="request"
      parameter="open"
  >
  </action

---

public class MyAction extends NewDispatchAction {

    public ActionForward open(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, 
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
	// code here
    }
}

--

There is no need of a parameter in the request, since the mapping itself 
determines the method that should be called.
