DispatchAction:seems fine, but doesn't work

[Ioana Mihaela]

Hi,I have the following code:
public class AggrActAction extends DispatchAction {
public ActionForward execute(...){...}
public ActionForward create(ActionMapping mapping,ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) {
System.out.println("create");
return mapping.findForward("success");
}
}
in strus-config.xml:
<action-mappings >
<action
attribute="aggrForm"
input="/aggr.jsp"
name="aggrForm"
parameter="met"
path="/aggrAct"
scope="request"
type="com.yourcompany.struts.action.AggrActAction">
<forward name="success" path="/success.jsp" redirect="true"/>
</action>
</action-mappings>
in aggr.jsp:
<html:link action="aggrAct.do?met=create">Create</html:link>
or
<html:link action="/aggrAct?met=create">Create</html:link>
both links lead to the execution of execute method in AggrActAction and not create

Does anyone have a clue why it doesn't work?
Thank you.

You shouldn't be overridding the execute method, or at least you need to call super.execute() when you're done. The execute method of the DispatchAction is what is looking at that parameter and calling your create() method.

Thanks a lot, it works
(not overriding the execute method did the trick)
