Description

AppFuse works great with WebWork 2.2.2 and 2.2.3. I tried upgrading to Struts 2.0.0 and found the following issue:

When I try to go to http://localhost:8080/appfuse/uploadFile!default.html, I get the following error:

Struts Problem Report

The Struts has detected an unhandled exception:
Messages: The default() is not defined in action class
org.appfuse.webapp.action.FileUploadAction
File: com/opensymphony/xwork2/DefaultActionInvocation.java
Line number: 337
Stacktraces
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The default() is not defined in
action class org.appfuse.webapp.action.FileUploadAction

I have the following in struts.properties:

struts.compatibilityMode.WebWork=true

As well as in FileUploadAction.java, I have:

public String doDefault()

{ return INPUT; }

<quote from="Don Brown">
Yes, this is true - we removed support for do* methods. Perhaps in this
one case, however, we should allow a doDefault method. Create a ticket
for it. Perhaps do* support itself should be put back in, but only be
enabled when in compatibility mode.

I believe the do* prefix should be supported for WebWork compatibility mode - so current WebWork users can easily upgrade to Struts 2.0.0.
