Lukasz Lenart updated WW-2392:
------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: Future)
3.x
> Handle additional actionName formats for ActionChainResult
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: WW-2392
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-2392
> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Actions
> Affects Versions: 2.0.11
> Reporter: Richard T. Feak
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.x
>
> Attachments: SmartActionChainResult.java
>
>
> Currently it's simple to define a chain result for an action in the same
> package, with a method of execute(). However, to chain to an action in a
> different namespace, or a method other then execute() requires additional XML
> markup that seems unnecessary.
> We already have a defined string format for referring to namespaces and
> methods. Could we use that format to simplify the definition of chain results?
> For example:
> <result name="success" type="chain">foo!bar</result> - Should refer to the
> bar() method in action "foo" in the same namespace.
> <result name="success" type="chain">/foo/bar</result> - Should refer to the
> "bar" action in the "foo" namespace
> <result name="success" type="chain">/foo/bar!baz</result> - Should refer to
> the baz() method on the "bar" action" in the "foo" namespace.
> As you can see, this format is much more intuitive and concise when compared
> against the current syntax for defining chain results.
> I'm assuming that somewhere there is common code for parsing such strings. it
> should be easy to re-use that code to prepopulate the variables in the
> ActionChainResult correctly.
