Subject: action mappings and ActionMapping From: Tom Roche <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> === What attributes can an "action mapping" have? Why I ask:
I'm working on an eclipse wizard for doing Action classes. Formerly it just wrote (a simple) subclass of Action from a template. (Soon I should do templates for the Direct Known Subclasses.) Now I also write a simple "action mapping" to a config file (e.g. struts-config.xml). Note that by "action mapping" I mean the contents of an <action> tag in a config file, not the class ActionMapping. But I suspect they are linked. I formerly thought I understood the structure of action mappings, because I had read http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/building_controller.html#config and the preceding section http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/building_controller.html#actionmapping But then I notice that http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/building_controller.html#actionmapping > <action-mappings> > <action > path="/logon" > type="org.apache.struts.example.LogonAction" > name="logonForm" > scope="request" > input="/logon.jsp" > unknown="false" > validate="true" /> > </action-mappings> uses two attributes not mentioned above, and that (emphasis added) http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/building_controller.html#config > The required knowledge has been encapsulated in a Java interface > named ActionMapping, the MOST IMPORTANT properties are as follows: Then I notice that, because it extends ...config.ActionConfig, ...action.ActionMapping has a bazillion fields. (Also I notice that http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/api/org/apache/struts/action/ActionMapping.html > NOTE - This class would have been deprecated and replaced by > org.apache.struts.config.ActionConfig except for the fact that it is > part of the public API that existing applications are using. but that's another issue.) So I'm wondering: * Can any field of ActionMapping be used as an attribute of an action mapping? * Is there any better documentation of the structure and use of action mappings than the Struts User's Guide? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
