I have been thinking about this, too There are quite some ways to do this... but as I said: will this be confortable? > > I have made some tests: if we use some intelligent > > caching for the reflection API there will be only little > > to no performance loss compared to the old mechanism. > > Jdk 1.4 has way higher performance in using reflection.

If you have a form with multiple input buttons with action bound to them you only have a single parameter: <form> <input type="submit" name="cocoon-action" value="update"> <input type="submit" name="cocoon-action" value="delete"> <input type="submit" name="cocoon-action" value="add"> </form> To change a hidden input field with javascript is not an option. So the information which mehtod to be called must be encoded inside the value which is currently the name of the action. That's why I came up with something like this <form> <input type="submit" name="cocoon-action" value="usermanager.update"> <input type="submit" name="cocoon-action" value="usermanager.delete"> <input type="submit" name="cocoon-action" value="usermanager.add"> </form> Unfortunately I think this must be handled from Cocoon and just an ClassMethodAction will not be enough -- Torsten --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
