Use wildcards for your actions.
<action name="abc_*" method="{1} class="com.mypaysite.MyAction>
The action's alias now includes the method name. Refer to the action by
it's alias matching the wildcard:
<s:submit value="button1" action="abc_methodA"/>
<s:submit value="button2" action="abc_methodB"/>
Use the validation filenames ActionClassName-alias-validation.xml:
MyAction-abc_methodA-validation.xml
MyAction-abc_methodB-validation.xml

Hope that helps,

Hi,
Just checking one more time if someone has an answer to my below email. We
decided to go with XML validation, and as i understand it, we cannot have
validation files based on action methods, but can only name it by action
alias. This makes me create a new action alias entry in struts.xml for each
action method, and also change the buttons/links in jsp accordingly.
It'll be great if someone can provide inputs before i embark on this huge
refactoring.
Thanks,
Joseph

Dave,
How do we use the action-alias XML approach if we've the same alias
but different methods on the same action ?
ex :
<action name="abc" class="com.mysite.myAction" />
say myAction has methodA(), methodB() etc. which are invoked using
different submit buttons in the jsp
<s:submit value="button1" method="methodA"/>
In this case, we could have myAction-abc-validation.xml , but how will
it differentiate b/n methodA and methodB?
i tried myAction-methodA-validation.xml ; but it didn't seem to work.
Thanks,
Joseph

You can create validation XML files on an action-alias
basis.
