As it is, yes and no. You can use the restful2 action mapper to have struts "guess" what the method names should be based on the URI and the HTTP method. However, outside that, I'm guessing you are really wanting some sort of technique that reads, say, an annotation over a method that says that this method should only be called when the HTTP method is, say, "PUT". Right now, there is no such feature, however, I'm very interested in supporting something like that, particularly if it uses the recent Restful JSR annotations the the JCP is working on.

Hi, Thanks for your quick response. I will take a look at this. But my question is: can I configure my actions in a way/somehow that they execute different methods when called through different HTTP methods e.g. GET, POST maybe even DELETE. Call the action's input method if it is a GET, call the execute method if it is a POST. (Maybe you can even call it 'restful form handling' :-) Anyway, I have to look into your suggestion as well - Thanks again!
