need help in wildcard mapping

[rajiv shrestha]

my action class look like below:

package action;

import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;

public class UserAction extends ActionSupport {

private String message;

public String getMessage() {
return message;
}

public void setMessage(String message) {
this.message = message;
}

@Override
public String execute() throws Exception {
message = "inside execute method";
return "success";
}

public String add() {
message = "inside add method";
return "success";
}

public String delete() {
message = "inside delete method";
return "success";
}

public String edit() {
message = "inside edit method";
return "success";
}

}

In struts.xml:

<action name="*User" method="{1}" class="action.UserAction">
<result name="success">/success.jsp</result>
</action>

this program works well with the desired output.

But i am unknown about method="{1}".

"method" attribute invokes specific method but what does the parameter "{1}" indicate?

--- need help ---

thnx in advance

Value of {1} will be replaced by the value passed through *.

<action name="*User" method="{1}" class="action.UserAction">

<action name="addUser" method="add" class="action.UserAction">
<action name="deleteUser" method="delete" class="action.UserAction">

Also please use code tags while posting the code samples. It will be easier to read the codes.

Hi,

I also having the same doubt,

So, incase if the user didnt pass the actionname for the '*" parameter in the URL then what will be passed to method={1}.

Ex: http://localhost:8080/context/User.do

here which method will be called..

Thanks in advance
