I noticed in Struts 1.3 there is a DispatchChainAction, and the parameter attribute specifies the name of the chain to execute. Would somebody consider that a security hole? It seems like anyone could arbitrarily execute any chain command in the entire Struts app if they knew it -- unlike a normal DispatchAction whose parameter is only relevant for that Action class.
Also, I hope there will be a MappingDispatchChainAction too. The MappingDispatchAction is, in my opinion, the absolute best feature of Struts 1.2 and secures the internals of the app better (i.e., not exposing method names to the world). However, it seems that it would be impossible to implement (currently) since the parameter attribute is already in use for the chain command.
