Description

My team and I have developed a preference for the "DispatchAction" style in
Struts to cluster related behavior and decrease the number of classes. While
this is a matter of taste, it seems to be the taste of at least a few people in
the Struts community.

Is there any interest in providing an abstract base DispatchCommand which looks
up and invokes an internal method based on either a String property or the
String value of a context value? I started writing such a thing, and will
gladly finish it up, test it, and provide the code for more feedback if there's
interest.

If people think it's scandalous, we could probably just keep it for internal use...
