Thanks , I was using jakarta-struts-1.1-rc1 which did the nul parameter trapping. mas Wendy Smoak wrote: From: Mark Shifman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unfortunately LookupDispatchAction checks for the parameter an throws an error before it gets a chance to use unspecified(), but it should be easy enough to modify it and then override dispatchActions unspecified().

RE: blocking bookmarked actions
Use only HTTP POST and send a hidden parameter which identifies the request origin. So if this is not set, redirect to some default page.

RE: blocking bookmarked actions
The way I achieved this was to extend ActionServlet so that a GET or POST parameter was added to the request, and extended RequestProcessor to deal with the get's differently. If you just need to catch calls to dispatch actions without a method then override execute() in your base DispatchAction class.

RE: blocking bookmarked actions
Actually, it's simpler than that (as I just saw on another thread). Just implement unspecified() in your action to override the default behaviour when no dispatch method is provided.

Thanks. Unfortunately LookupDispatchAction checks for the parameter an throws an error before it gets a chance to use unspecified(), but it should be easy enough to modify it and then override dispatchActions unspecified(). mas Wendy Smoak wrote: From: Mark Shifman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] where do I do the blocking?
