I am trying to figure out how to set the default class that is executed when a class is not specified on an <action> declaration. When you specify something like:
<action name="home"> <result>/home.jsp</result> </action> Struts automatically runs com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport. But I am trying to figure out how to accomplish this: <action name="home"> <param name="role">user</param> <result>/home.jsp</result> </action> Since ActionSupport doesn't have a setRole method, this won't work out of the box, so I created a simple extension of ActionSupport to hold the role value. After a bit of googling, I got the idea that this should work: <action name="default" class="my.package.BaseAction"/> <default-action-ref name="default"/> but that doesn't seem to do the job. Is it possible? Is there another way to specify this type of information on a per Action basis? Any insights would be appreciated. (*Chris*)
