Re: LookupDispatchAction "default" value?

[Danny Mui]

Sorry to have muddled the waters too much, I assumed too much...Having looked at the LookupDispatchAction code, I can now make a slightly more educated reply ;).

Yeah I think you're going to have to workaround the parent method.


public class DefaultLookup extends LookupDispatchAction {

public ActionForward execute(.....){
if (request.getParameter(mapping.getParameter()) == null) {

return defaultMethod(....)
} else return super.execute(....);
}

public abstract ActionForward defaultMethod(....) ;
}

This should work! i think...

I extended the dispatch action to do something like that:
in execute() {
ActionForward forward = null;

if (mapping.getParameter() == null ||

"".equals(mapping.getParameter())) {

forward = executeAction(mapping, form, request, response);
} else {
forward = super.dispatchMethod(mapping,form,request,response,

mapping.getParameter());

}
return forward;
}
i'm a little weirder, i like to declaratively tell my action which to execute. so extending the if statement to look at the request/form is possible.
this may not be lookupdispatchaction but close enough i guess?

I don't quite understand where this code lives. Is this in a class that
extends "Action"? Or have you subclassed LookupDispatchAction and "fixed"
the execute() method?
