Re: Resend: Overriding Action and super.execute

Ouch!  sorry for the nasty c'n'p links in there :o)  here's what I meant to post:

Rick,
 
which execute() did you override in your BaseAction class?  

public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
                            ActionForm form,
                            javax.servlet.ServletRequest request,
                            javax.servlet.ServletResponse response)
                     throws java.lang.Exception
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
                            ActionForm form,
                            javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                            javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)
                     throws java.lang.Exception
You probably want to override the latter, and be consistent in your 
subclasses as well.

So, doesn't anyone had this kind of problem?
Can Struts handle this kind of derivation(subclassing) that was
used very often e.g. in C++ based frameworks?
Any suggestion?

Subject: Overriding Action and super.execute
Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2003 18:17:42 +0000
Hello,

I have overriding execute method of Strut's Action class to a new 
BaseAction class (Action is it's parent) and put some 'generic' 
stuff there. Business classes are derived from this BaseAction 
class. They might also in some cases override execute method.

My question is that if execute method is overriden also in Business
Action class and in BaseAction class too, why sometimes the call below:
return super.execute(mapping, form, request, response);

in Business Action class does not invoke execute method of BaseAction's
class??? It seems to be routed directly to Strut's original Action 
classes execute method because application continues progressing but 
does not stop to the debugger breakpoint set to BaseAction class...

Anyone have any hints?

Br
