Hello Don, Thank you very much for your response and yes <s:submit method="processMyForm" ... works quite well. Nevertheless, I would like to see a more RESTful behavior implemented into Struts2 for the actions.
Don, what would be the best way to proceed from here. As a start shall I go ahead and open a feature Request in Jira? How can I help otherwise? Thanks - Gunnar PS: I look very briefly at JSR-311. IT seems to be still in very early stages (Formed in February'07). Also, I am not sure if we would need much more than the @HttpMethod(GET) @HttpMethod(POST) etc. annotations.
