> The JavaDoc for MappingDispatchAction states that unspecified() is the "method which is dispatched to when there is no value for the parameter in the ActionMapping."  When I don't specify "parameter" in the ActionMapping however, I get the following stack trace:
> ERROR [http-8080-Processor24] (BaseCCAction.java:66) - DispatchMapping[/msalogin] does not define a handler property
> javax.servlet.ServletException: DispatchMapping[/msalogin] does not define a handler property
> 	at org.apache.struts.actions.DispatchAction.getParameter(DispatchAction.java:325)
> 	at org.apache.struts.actions.DispatchAction.execute(DispatchAction.java:170)
> 	at org.apache.struts.actions.MappingDispatchAction.execute(MappingDispatchAction.java:169)
> 	at com.cypresscare.web.common.actions.BaseCCAction.execute(BaseCCAction.java:60)
> 	at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform(RequestProcessor.java:431)
> My investigation shows that this is due to MappingDispatchAction's execute() method doing nothing except delegating to DispatchAction's execute() method:
> 	public ActionForward execute(
> 		ActionMapping mapping,
> 		ActionForm form,
> 		HttpServletRequest request,
> 		HttpServletResponse response)
> 		throws Exception {
>         
>         // Use the overridden getMethodName. 
>         return super.execute(mapping, form, request, response);
> 	}
> Furthermore, as evident from my attached stack trace, it is the overridden getParameter() that actually needs to be used
> HTH
