P.S., Paul, I'd suggest going ahead and opening a ticket for this and
reference this thread... say that a couple of different solutions were
suggested and patches can be easily created once a consensus on the
right answer is reached (I know you said you'd create a patch, and I
would too if necessary once we can all come together to decide which way
to go). This will put it more officially in front of the committers for
their consideration, since ultimately they are going to have to decide
if they agree this is an issue or not, and then agree with how to
resolve it. The first step in all that is generally a ticket being
opened. This is your baby, so go for it! :)

If everyone used dispatch-type Actions, I would disagree because then it would

There's actually a funny bug here. cancel() method ALWAYS gets called in a
dispatch action BUT
it's default behavior is to return null; and if null is returned then it
considers it
non-implemented and goes to the intended method.
That's actually a bug too because NULL is a legitmate return value from a
struts action. If you
handled the request directly, say by writing directly to the servlet
OutputStream or
HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect(), you're supposed to retun null. That's what
the docs say =o)
But in this case NULL means "not implemented".
Anyway, it must be the weekend because no one from the Struts team have chimed
in -- but they
deserve days off too. :) .... maybe ;) I'd like to actually have a solution to
submit; I am going
to implement my suggestion privately in my applications but I would like an
"official" one get
into Struts too.
