public class DefaultActionMapper
extends Object
implements ActionMapper

Default action mapper implementation, using the standard *.[ext] (where ext usually "action") pattern. The extension is looked up from the Struts configuration key struts.action.extension.

To help with dealing with buttons and other related requirements, this mapper (and other ActionMappers, we hope) has the ability to name a button with some predefined prefix and have that button name alter the execution behaviour. The four prefixes are:

In addition to these four prefixes, this mapper also understands the action naming pattern of foo!bar in either the extension form (eg: foo!bar.action) or in the prefix form (eg: action:foo!bar). This syntax tells this mapper to map to the action named foo and the method bar.

Method Prefix

With method-prefix, instead of calling baz action's execute() method (by default if it isn't overriden in struts.xml to be something else), the baz action's anotherMethod() will be called. A very elegant way determine which button is clicked. Alternatively, one would have submit button set a particular value on the action when clicked, and the execute() method decides on what to do with the setted value depending on which button is clicked.

  <!-- START SNIPPET: method-example -->
  <s:form action="baz">
      <s:textfield label="Enter your name" name="person.name"/>
      <s:submit value="Create person"/>
      <s:submit method="anotherMethod" value="Cancel"/>
  </s:form>
  <!-- END SNIPPET: method-example -->
 
Action prefix

With action-prefix, instead of executing baz action's execute() method (by default if it isn't overriden in struts.xml to be something else), the anotherAction action's execute() method (assuming again if it isn't overriden with something else in struts.xml) will be executed.

  <!-- START SNIPPET: action-example -->
  <s:form action="baz">
      <s:textfield label="Enter your name" name="person.name"/>
      <s:submit value="Create person"/>
      <s:submit action="anotherAction" value="Cancel"/>
  </s:form>
  <!-- END SNIPPET: action-example -->
