redirect.action (when I get it working that is). And for 1.3 I think that's
fine.
Oh, another configuration option. Have I left my feelings about these unclear as well?- allow the configuration (XMLActionConfiguration vs PropertiesConfiguration) to be specified in the global configuration, or default to PropertiesConfiguration if not given (so things stay simple, right?)
- Change the configuration architecture so that the example I posted in myWhat you are calling properties are actually parameters and are no different that you would use with the ActionTag. Maybe a param tag could be useful to keep View URL's cleaned up, but you can specify parameters in the View URL's today to be passed into your actions. Or at least you could. Please tell me that hasn't gone away.
weblog is supported. This basically means that internally, "Foo!someCommand"
means nothing. Instead, the configuration (again, this is internally)
actually is generic enough like the config I gave in my weblog. Then
PropertiesConfiguration can read views.properties like it always did, and
translate "Foo!someCommand" as "the class is Foo and pass a property
key/value pair of command=someCommand in before executing".
Before you shoot it down as overly complex, remember that externally, thingsKaboom! Down in flames.
are as simple as always, but power users (like me) can write a better
XMLConfiguration that takes advantage of the new, powerful, (internal)
configuration architecture.
Look, I don't see you proposing any functionality that hasn't existed in a different form for a long time. Functionality BTW, that didn't require any special effort on the part of the end user (i.e. extra configuration).
