THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!

Without using the wildcard method selection technique, I'd have to write an action mapping node in the Struts 2 configuration file for each separate action I'd want to call. For example:
| Code Block | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
<action name="createPerson" class="org.apache.struts.tutorials.wildcardmethod.action.PersonAction" method="create"> <result name="input">input.jsp</result> <result name="success">view.jsp</result> </action> <action name="editPerson" class="org.apache.struts.tutorials.wildcardmethod.action.PersonAction" method="edit"> <result name="input">input.jsp</result> <result name="success">view.jsp</result> </action> |
...
To implement the wildcard method selection technique to enable the Struts 2 framework to dynamically select the correct method to call at runtime you just need to use the wildcard character, *, in your name value and an attribute value place holder ( {1} ) for the method value. For example:
| Code Block | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
<action name="*Person" class="org.apache.struts.tutorials.wildcardmethod.action.PersonAction" method="{1}">
<result name="success">view.jsp</result>
<result name="input">input.jsp</result>
</action>
