This causes another ModelDriven problem. If the StaticParameterInterceptor comes after the ParametersInterceptor, then how can the proposed ModelDrivenInterceptor utilize static config information?

I'm really talking about when you don't pass a method param (which, with
CommandDriven and the "command" param in WW1.x would cause doDefault()
to be called) or when you're trying to set it at runtime with a method
param, either of which allows the user to change the URL to change
behavior.

So you're saying that setting a parameter via the URL and setting a parameter via the xwork configuration file call the same methods. This sounds like a potential security hole for unsuspecting developers.


FWIW, JPublish allows you to pass configuration data to actions in the same way that you can with xwork.xml params, but this is a different mechanism than using HTTP parameters. It doesn't call get and set methods on the action rather there is a predefined method loadConfiguration(). Not sure whether its better or worse, just giving an alternative solution to a similar problem.

Sincerely,

This is how WW1.x command driven actions are implemented.

What I don't


like about this implementation is that anyone who know a little bit about how WW works can twiddle with URLs to call other

methods. Maybe


not a huge risk, but just ugly.

People can choose not to use different methods on their

actions, but I


want the ability to use it to keep from having a proliferation of Action classes.

VERY useful for some people, myself included.

You extend from ActionSupport generally? Or Action?


Just for fun I coded this up:

public class DispatchAction implements Action {
   private String method;

   final public void setMethod(String method) {
       this.method = method;
   }

   final public String execute() throws Exception {
       System.out.println("invoke: " + method);

       return SUCCESS;
   }
}

Of course just substitute the right reflection voodoo in

execute() to

call whatever method you want. I'd make this abstract, of course, and that is why I made the two methods final. In xwork.xml I

set <param

name="method">someMethod</param> and have the static interceptor configured. With the dynamic param interceptor also in the stack I was able to switch the method from ?method=blah too.

What is wrong with that approach with how you want things to work?
Just because of subclassing?

Erik "still +1 on Action, with no other entry points" :)
