Lukasz Lenart updated WW-4366:
------------------------------
Description:
Struts2 action methods should accept arguments just like JAX-RS specs. Also
certain method types should be allowed only like GET, PUT, POST, DELTE.
Inspiration might be taken from struts-json plugin @SMDMthod but that is not a
real action method.
If there are multiple action methods in a Action class then it becomes less
obvious which variables are used for a particular action method.
Ex.
{code:java}
@ActionPath("/books/{id}")
public String showAction(@PathParam("id") String id,
@QueryParam("name") String name) {
...
return "success";
}
{code}
Also flexible return types as defined in JAX-RS would be great or atleast
{code:java}
Result.json(myObject).includeActionErrors().includeActionMessages().done();
Result.string(myString).done();
Result.create("json").from(myObject).param("includeActionErrors,includeActionMessages").done();
{code}
The action method return type can be to denote builder like result. The closest
in struts I can see is HttpHeaderResult. But this does not allow arbritrary
string result and let the end user create the string as json or plain text.
{code:java}
@Action
public Result showAction(...){}
{code}
