The AbstractMultiAction provides a way
to call methods of an action specified by
the method parameter or request parameter.
This can be extremly useful for action-sets or as
action-sets replacement.
Example:
will call the method "doSave" of the MultiAction
act(Redirector redirector,
SourceResolver resolver,
Map objectModel,
String source,
Parameters parameters)
Controls the processing against some values of the
Dictionary objectModel and returns a
Map object with values used in subsequent
sitemap substitution patterns.
Configures the Action.
Takes the children from the Configuration and stores them
them as key (configuration name) and value (configuration value)
in settings.
This automates parsing of flat string-only configurations.
For nested configurations, override this function in your action.
Controls the processing against some values of the
Dictionary objectModel and returns a
Map object with values used in subsequent
sitemap substitution patterns.
NOTE: This interface is designed so that implentations can be ThreadSafe.
When an action is ThreadSafe, only one instance serves all requests : this
reduces memory usage and avoids pooling.
resolver - The SourceResolver in charge
objectModel - The Map with object of the
calling environment which can be used
to select values this controller may need
(ie Request, Response).
source - A source String to the Action
parameters - The Parameters for this invocation
Returns:
Map The returned Map object with
sitemap substitution values which can be used
in subsequent elements attributes like src=
using a xpath like expression: src="mydir/{myval}/foo"
If the return value is null the processing inside
the element of the sitemap will
be skipped.
