Subclassing ActionMapping
This should be so stinkin' obvious that I ought to be seeing it, but after
spending all morning trying to figure this out, I hope someone can shed some
light for me. I've subclassed ActionMapping so I can include a couple of
<set-property> tags in my Actions. This seems to work OK as I can see the
'setters' being called when the web app initializes. The question I have is
this - which class do I specify for my execute action? Do I use the
standard method signature of
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping am, ActionForm af,
HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
or do I use my subclass?
public ActionForward execute(myActionMapping am, ActionForm af,
HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
I've tried both. When I use the normal signature, I can't see my custom
attributes. If I specify my subclassed ActionMapping class
(myActionMapping), nothing seems to work (i.e. can't forward to anything,
action never actually gets invoked). In my struts-config I specify my
subclassed ActionMapping class using the className attribute on the <action>
tag.
Arrgh. This shouldn't be this tough, but I just can't see it.

I'm just guessing here, but have you tried using the
first signature (using the "normal" ActionMapping) and
then casting it inside your action to "myActionMapping"?

RE: Subclassing ActionMapping
Posted by Mike Jasnowski <mj...@bea.com>.
When you extract the ActionMapping are you casting it to your new subclassed
actionMapping or the parent class?
MyExtension ext = (MyExtension)actionMapping;
Where MyExtension is the class named in the "className" attribute of your
config
HTH,
Mike
