Shouldn't validation just be fixed?

The root problem is that validation only uses the action alias and doesn't check if a method name is provided in a parameter. The user of a wildcard just works-around that limitation to creating an alias it can match.

For historical reasons there's at least two ways to specify which action and method should be invoked but XML validation doesn't support both. Perhaps it's not possible or too slow for the validator to examine the ActionMapping though.

As evidenced by the diffulties described on the user list in "Wildcard mapping should not suck (but does)", I propose that instead of having a method attribute on the submit tag that works w/o js in the client, but requires some black magic on the server side, we add an "action" attribute to the submit tag that uses js on the client to change the form target before submitting. This will enable the usage pattern that I believe developers want and reduces the dispatcher complexity.

Thoughts?
