Bob Tiernay updated WW-2323:
----------------------------

    Description: 
<s:action name="xxx!yyy"> will always attempt to find an action with name "xxx" 
and invoke it's method "yyy".  This is a result of 
org.apache.struts2.components.ActionComponent's executeAction method:

...

        // handle "name!method" convention.
        final String actionName;
        final String methodName;

        int exclamation = actualName.lastIndexOf("!");
        if (exclamation != -1) {
            actionName = actualName.substring(0, exclamation);
            methodName = actualName.substring(exclamation + 1);
        } else {
            actionName = actualName;
            methodName = null;
        }

...

Note that the first branch in the if statement is *not* correct behavior in the 
case that struts.enable.DynamicMethodInvocation has been set to false in 
struts.properties.

This bug appears to be the result of an incomplete backwards compatibility 
support, added to enable the old webwork ! convention. This was a notable 
change documented here:

http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/key-changes-from-webwork-2.html

The proposed solution is to respect the value 
struts.enable.DynamicMethodInvocation in ActionComponent so that both values of 
true and false can be used consistently across the framework.

(See also Form component and ServletUrlRenderer for their use of 
struts.enable.DynamicMethodInvocation)
