Class ActionChainResult

java.lang.Object

org.apache.struts2.result.ActionChainResult

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Result

Direct Known Subclasses:

ActionChainResult

public class ActionChainResult
extends Object
implements Result

This result invokes an entire other action, complete with it's own interceptor stack and result. This result type takes the following parameters:

• actionName (default) - the name of the action that will be chained to
• namespace - used to determine which namespace the Action is in that we're chaining. If namespace is null, this defaults to the current namespace
• method - used to specify another method on target action to be invoked. If null, this defaults to execute method
• skipActions - (optional) the list of comma separated action names for the actions that could be chained to

Example:

 <package name="public" extends="struts-default">
     <!-- Chain creatAccount to login, using the default parameter -->
     <action name="createAccount" class="...">
         <result type="chain">login</result>
     </action>

     <action name="login" class="...">
         <!-- Chain to another namespace -->
         <result type="chain">
             <param name="actionName">dashboard</param>
             <param name="namespace">/secure</param>
         </result>
     </action>
 </package>

 <package name="secure" extends="struts-default" namespace="/secure">
     <action name="dashboard" class="...">
         <result>dashboard.jsp</result>
     </action>
 </package>

Parameters:

invocation - the DefaultActionInvocation calling the action call stack

Throws:

Exception
