What about:
#5:
A DispatchAction (struts 1.1) with a single action map entry:
/maintainUser.do?action=create ->> MaintainUserAction.java
/maintainUser.do?action=read ->> MaintainUserAction.java
/maintainuser.do?action=update ->> MaintainUserAction.java
/maintainuser.do?action=delete ->> MaintainUserAction.java
Plus associated dispatched methods to process the server side of page
events (lookup buttons being pressed, drop down list values changing).
The DispatchAction class acts like a page controller for all events on
the page (more like coding in a GUI application ala swing).
Regards,
Rich

+1. We found that #2 worked best for our current application.
