Description

It appears as though "specifying a method on a submit button" does now work.

But, specifying a method for an action on a link does not work.

<a href="<s:url action="ActionName" method="myMethod"/>">Click Me</a>

We are using liferay 4.1.2. Upon page creation, the url looks something like this.

http://database:8080/c/portal/layout?p_l_id=PRI.15.2&p_p_id=SampleStruts2Portlet_WAR_samplestruts2portlet&p_p_action=0&p_p_state=normal&p_p_mode=view&p_p_col_id=&p_p_col_pos=0&p_p_col_count=0&_SampleStruts2Portlet_WAR_samplestruts2portlet_struts.portlet.mode=view&_SampleStruts2Portlet_WAR_samplestruts2portlet_struts.portlet.action=%2Fview%2FActionName

The parameter '_SampleStruts2Portlet_WAR_samplestruts2portlet_struts.portlet.action'=%2Fview%2FActionName and this link will not call the myMethod method, it will instead call the exectue method of ActionName, however if we change the url manually to

http://database:8080/c/portal/layout?p_l_id=PRI.15.2&p_p_id=SampleStruts2Portlet_WAR_samplestruts2portlet&p_p_action=0&p_p_state=normal&p_p_mode=view&p_p_col_id=&p_p_col_pos=0&p_p_col_count=0&_SampleStruts2Portlet_WAR_samplestruts2portlet_struts.portlet.mode=view&_SampleStruts2Portlet_WAR_samplestruts2portlet_struts.portlet.action=%2Fview%2FActionName!myMethod, it will call the myMethod method.
