How about using an exception handler to catch both unspecified and invalid method names? I recently added "dispatch" flavour examples (primarily for testing) to the struts-examples webapp - you can take a look at them in the nightly build if thats of interest:
http://svn.apache.org/builds/struts/maven/STRUTS_1_2_BRANCH/nightly/binary/ Otherwise, you could override the dispatchMethod and catch the NoSuchMethodException, although IMO this is a bad idea, since it could hide bugs/attacks (depending on what you put in the unspecified method). protected ActionForward dispatchMethod(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, String name) throws Exception { try { return super.dispatchMethod(mapping, form, request. response); } catch(NoSuchMethodException ex) { return unspecified(mapping, form, request, response); } } Niall ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Mun" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 12:55 AM > The "unspecified()" method is only invoked if the > parameter wasn't passed in.
