When actions are chained, and the last action in the chain does not contain a corresponding view, the 404 error displayed is not accurate.
In other words, if Foo.action -> Bar.action and Foo.success=Bar.action and no Bar.success is declared, yet that is the result returned, the 404 will display No view for result [success] exists for action [Foo.action] when it should really be "...exists for action [Bar.action]. I suggest adding a getActionName method to GenericDispatcher and use this method when displaying the 404 instead of the "actionName" variable. I can supply the patches if necessary. Also, I've implemented something like a request-driven "next action" kinda thing, and wondering if there's interest in it. Its real simple. Basically, I find it abit of hassle to have to declare results for every "next action" I want, so I patched WebWork so I can specify say Foo.action?webwork.next=Bar.action What happens is, if a view is mapped to the result (say SUCCESS), then the view is used. If there's no corresponding view, then it searches the request params for "webwork.next" and uses it if it exists. If it doesn't then throw 404. And on the theme of 404s, wondering if people are interested in being able to specify an error page in webwork.properties, something like webwork.action.error=error.jsp or in my case, error-view.vm For the velocity error template bit, I'm using my own VelocityServlet implementation which is based on the VelocityLayoutServlet found in velocity-tools, basically you can specify custom error templates in velocity.properties... I haven't really checked out WW2 or XWork, so maybe stuff like this is already implemented. I worked it into my 1.3 dist...
