I'd prefer it to be turn off by default. I normally use an extra action alias instead of "foo!bar".
As for cancel action, I'd normally use <submit name="action:purchaseCancel" /> and have an action alias "purchaseCancel" which could be using the same action class but with a different method defined in the struts xml file. instead of <submit name="method:cancel" /> So, i guess the overall impact isn't significant to me. The overall sturts config file could get more verbose, but i guess we could separate them out using <include file="......" />. regards ----- Original Message ---- From: Ted Husted <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Struts Developers List <dev@struts.apache.org> Sent: Saturday, 26 August, 2006 8:35:31 AM Subject: Re: [VOTE] Retain the "!" idiom but disable it by default On 8/25/06, Don Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What were you meaning by removing the deprecation? Deprecation means that we may remove the behavior in favor of a preferred alternative. That's very different from making the behavior switchable. Right now, we don't have a preferred alternative, so it was wrong to ever refer to the behavior as "deprecated" in the first place. The original notion was that wildcards could be a dropin replacement for hardwiring the "!" syntax, and in my experience, we are already 98% there, but it's hard to test wilcard replacements with the hardwired code switched on, since the special-casde code hijacks the processing of any action name with an embedded "!". The builtin, hardwired, non-configurable behavior It is also arguably a security flaw, and since we already have code that can switch it off, there is no reason not to provide the switch, even if the default is to enable the behavior. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
