Subject: Re: How to add a pre-action
In addition to Phil's advice, if I understand you correctly you are asking
how you can differentiate two different behaviors in the same action class.
When action is /mainscreen then ReportParameterAction should do one thing
(or nothing) but when action is /report then ReportParameterAction should do
something differently. If this is correct then you can accomplish this with
the 'parameter' attribute. In your action mapping specify
'parameter=someParameter'. In ReportParameterAction test for that parameter
and determine the behavior accordingly (ie. if(
mapping.getParameter().equals( 'someParameter' ) ) {
doSomethingSpecial(); } ).
