I personally would like to see XWork enhanced to
support action methods
returning Result instances directly, however we would
have to thoroughly think
through the consequences.
Reasons for:
- Better security
- Easier, more explicit
- Results will probably be defined as annotations
soon, so why not just return
he Result directly?
- Allows non-annotation apps to drastically
minimize config
- Supports more complex results
Reasons against:
- The Action interface really loses most of its
meaning
- ActionSupport could no longer extend Action
- XWork internals would need modification since many
places expect a result code
- Supporting the return of Result, String, and
Object might be confusing for
ew developers
- Current Results would need some improvements to
make them easier to use
better constructors, default location names/patterns,
etc)
Again, all things considered, I'd really like to see
us add the ability to
return Results directly as I think it just makes
things easier. The ability to
separate JSP paths from Java code, IMO, is way
overrated and years of its
practice hasn't shown the additional complexity is
really worth it. For those
that prefer the old style, they would still have that
option.

@Action to mark it as an Action method?
Stripes uses the annontation @DefaultHandler where
we would configure
a default action, which might imply the annotation
@Handler for what
we are talking about here.
