Good, but I think is more flexible return from getFallbackMethod (or the default method) the name of the method directly. just define in the dispatch base class a protected method that the user can overwrite, returnin instead of null a string that contains the name of the method. Anyway, I'd suggest filing an "enhancement" ticket in Bugzilla and if you can attach patches to implement this, so much the better! Thank you for the tips, I hope to give a little contribute to the open source community, (I've to check some legal problem with my company :( ) How can I ask to get it in a new version of struts? Will be handy ! http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Struts Joe At 12:23 PM +0200 4/12/05, Giovanni Santini wrote: >Hi, > We use a Dispatch Action for each setup screen that we've to develop. >Setup screen are called from overview and workflow screen.
