Description

Struts action configuration (and dispatcher) should allow discrimination of actions based on the HTTP method. This would allow generic REST style interfaces (in excess of the rest plugin).

e.g.

<action name="action1" http-method="get"> ...
<action name="action1" http-method="post"> ...

This is helpful when combined with regex patternmatcher for custom restful urls

e.g.

<action name="/{entity:\w+}/{id:\d+}/{report:\w+}" http-method="get">
