> Currently it's simple to define a chain result for an action in the same package, with a method of execute(). However, to chain to an action in a different namespace, or a method other then execute() requires additional XML markup that seems unnecessary.
> We already have a defined string format for referring to namespaces and methods. Could we use that format to simplify the definition of chain results?
> For example:
> <result name="success" type="chain">foo!bar</result> - Should refer to the bar() method in action "foo" in the same namespace.
> <result name="success" type="chain">/foo/bar</result> - Should refer to the "bar" action in the "foo" namespace
> <result name="success" type="chain">/foo/bar!baz</result> - Should refer to the baz() method on the "bar" action" in the "foo" namespace.
> As you can see, this format is much more intuitive and concise when compared against the current syntax for defining chain results.
> I'm assuming that somewhere there is common code for parsing such strings. it should be easy to re-use that code to prepopulate the variables in the ActionChainResult correctly.
