Musachy Barroso commented on WW-2991:
-------------------------------------

I would advise you to start a thread in @dev to discuss this and get some input, as for myself, I think the whole idea goes against some of the Struts 2 core patterns.

> More intelligent result mapping could make Convention plugin more conventional. Here was my some initial thought:
> In my personal experience, most of the time, logical result name was not necessary.
> If the result string was "create.jsp", it will be dispatch to "create.jsp" under same package in "/WEB-INF/content". No need to look up "create.vm" or other  guess work, performance will also increase. 
> If the result string was "/login.jsp", it will be dispatch to "/WEB-INF/content/login.jsp" .
> If the result string was "redirect:create.jsp", then change result type to "redirect".
> If the result string was "edit.action", it will be chained to "EditAction" under same namespace.
> If the result string was SomeOtherAction.class.toString(), it will be chained to the SomeOtherAction.
> To change default result type of action from chain to other result type, just prepend result type in result string, for example: "redirect:edit.action".
