This is not overriding method.



As you see when you declare the same functionality using the
struts.xml Then only that explicitly declared
method will be executed by the struts API [framework] in the
explicitly declared package.class.

Overriding methods in OOP means not using certain declared methods
from inherited classes and super impose on inherited methods by
writing your own methods.
So you use some methods from the inherited class not all [Pick and
choose, adapt]

This is randomly picking up a class by matching the  class names only.
There is no way to match packages names same as stuts.xml due to design of
annotation API. So I am suggesting do a match of same class names  [
validation  method in the annotations API ]  and raising an error to the
application developer of presence of duplicate class names.

Re: convention plugin Issue

2019-12-18 Thread John Bush
Overriding methods *is **a valid feature* in Java and probably all 
object oriented languages. I'm confident, even at that lowest level, you 
wouldn't be able to avoid methods being overridden. Above those layers 
of code you have many more layers of code to provide the ability to 
communicate with and over web technologies. Again with a high 
probability of more methods being overridden. Eventually you get to the 
Struts framework which is not flat. It is again layers of code, with 
again a high probability of more methods being overridden.


IMHO A developer needs to understand the technology stack used including 
the order of classpaths searched at execution time. A framework is 
intended to help you do a job which implies you know what it's doing.

I think the convention plugin should perform a validation a check for the
presence of multiple same class names within different
package names. That ambiguity has been shown by my test.
After all it is quite feasible and likely that we could have multiple same
class names from different package names
from jars which have been placed on the classpath.
We cant have the convention plugin randomly (as shown by my test)
executing random code.

Hi,

I guess that the behavior of defining actions with same name and namespace
is undefined. I think it's not an issue because Convention Plugin has no
avenue to distinguish between them when you request
http://localhost:8080/hello-world.

Hi,

On this page
https://struts.apache.org/plugins/convention/#setup

if I have  com.example.actions.HelloWorld.java
and
uk.mypackage.actions.HelloWorld.java
with  url http://localhost:8080/hello-world then
uk.mypackage.actions.HelloWorld.java  execute is run.

If I have
uk.example.actions.HelloWorld.java
and
com.example.actions.HelloWorld.java
then  com.example.actions.HelloWorld.java  execute is run.

uk.mypackage.actions.HelloWorld,java overrides the other two.
