Richard Wallace commented on WW-1865:
-------------------------------------
I disagree that this is would be a good thing. The nice thing about having the
configuration information in the java code is being able to use the type safety
of the language. Going back to using a far weaker string naming convention to
wire things together is a step backwards sliding us back towards the same
problems as xml has in the first place. But, as long as it's not required I
can't say I really care if the option is there.
> Simplify Result Type Annotation by allowing same result types as XML

> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Plugin - CodeBehind
> Affects Versions: 2.0.6
> Reporter: Alex Kira
> Assignee: James Holmes
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: Future

>
> When using Result annotations, we currently have to use class references to
> configure the result type. It would be much simpler and more consistent if
> we can use the same result types as the XML configuration, such as
> "redirect-action", "tiles", etc, instead of having to use class names like
> ServletActionRedirectResult .class and TilesResult.class.
> So instead of this:
> @Result(name="success", value="main", type=ServletActionRedirectResult .class)
> public class HomeAction extends ActionSupport {
> // ...
> }
> Be able to do this:
> @Result(name="success", value="main", type="redirect-action")
> public class HomeAction extends ActionSupport {
> // ...
> }
> or if we are keeping backwards compatiblity, something like this:
> @Result(name="success", value="main", typeName="redirect-action")
> public class HomeAction extends ActionSupport {
> // ...
> }
