This seems to me like putting another bullet in the gun! I agree you should pick a strategy and go with it. Having said that, do you agree the default for WCM should be false? Scott On 4/9/07, Ted Husted <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: We consider Wildcard Methods and DMI to be distinct strategie

Re: WildCards and Results

We consider Wildcard Methods and DMI to be distinct strategies, and I would suggest that an application use one or the other. But, Wildcards and DMI can co-exist if the Wildcard URIs don't use the ! character. HTH, Ted On 4/9/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTEC

Re: WildCards and Results

"!" is a special character means that if you have action which name is "do" and in struts.properties you have struts.enable.DynamicMethodInvocation=true which is the default value, then if the request is "do_namespace/do!firstMethod" will invoke the firstMethod. If you specify action name alrea

Re: WildCards and Results

There's a feature embedded in WebWork that lets the "!" character invoke a method other than execute. In WebWork, it doesn't really have a name. During the S2 discussions, we coined the term "dynamic method invocation" to describe how WW/S2 use the ! notation. For Struts 2, we added a switch to d

Re: WildCards and Results

since '!' is already a special character which specifies the method name automatically see struts.properties configuration file for more details about how to enable/disable dynamic method invocation Can you explain this? I read all I could find on this topic and their was discussion dating back

Re: WildCards and Results

As Ted wrote those methods should return Strings which will determine the result to be shown. String myCustomMethod() { if(1) return "result1"; else return "result2"; } /pages/course1.jsp /pages/course2.jsp Also I do not recommend to define action name like since '!' is alread

Re: WildCards and Results

Since the methods do not return a String containing the result to match, I'm not sure how to direct Struts to display a page. All such methods should return a String, just like the canonical execute method. In other words, execute is the default Action method (or "alias"). Other methods can be

WildCards and Results

I have an Action with several methods in it. I have no problem invoking the correct method using course!whatever, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the correct web page to appear following the method call. Since the methods do not return a String containing the result to match, I'm not s
