Struts2 / Struts1 action multiple calls

I am migrating to Struts2 from Struts1 framework by using "struts2-struts1-plugin-2.3.34" with an XML based configuration.

In Struts 1 Plugin, we need to call multiple actions written in a single Action class as in Struts 1 that was identified by parameter method as follows<action path="/list" type="com.manager.MyAction" name="list" scope="session" parameter="method" validate="false">

Is there any way to accomodate multiple methods in Single Action? while struts2 action tag attribute "method" not supported in plugin

<action name="actionName" class="org.apache.struts2.s1.Struts1Action"> 
<param name="className">com.test.MyActionClass</param> 
<result name="success">/result.jsp</result>

Solution

  • This is the limitation of the struts plugin that you are using. (struts2-struts1-plugin-2.3.34)

    Simple work around for it is that add your form bean attributes directly to your ACTION class and make your life easier using dynamic method invocation.

    Struts-1 makes use of form beans where as Struts-2 uses action stacks.
