Handle additional actionName formats for ActionChainResult
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: WW-2392
URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2392
Project: Struts 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core Actions
Affects Versions: 2.0.11
Reporter: Richard T. Feak
Priority: Minor
Currently it's simple to define a chain result for an action in the same
package, with a method of execute(). However, to chain to an action in a
different namespace, or a method other then execute() requires additional XML
markup that seems unnecessary.
We already have a defined string format for referring to namespaces and
methods. Could we use that format to simplify the definition of chain results?
For example:
<result name="success" type="chain">foo!bar</result> - Should refer to the
bar() method in action "foo" in the same namespace.
<result name="success" type="chain">/foo/bar</result> - Should refer to the
"bar" action in the "foo" namespace
<result name="success" type="chain">/foo/bar!baz</result> - Should refer to the
baz() method on the "bar" action" in the "foo" namespace.
As you can see, this format is much more intuitive and concise when compared
against the current syntax for defining chain results.
I'm assuming that somewhere there is common code for parsing such strings. it
should be easy to re-use that code to prepopulate the variables in the
ActionChainResult correctly.
