In struts 1.2, when an URL in the form http://foo.com/barAction.do is invoked, this will call the execute method (or process) in the action class that was mapped to barAction.
Is it possible to call a different method other than the execute (or process) in the same action class when the above URL is invoked?
You can use a DispatchAction. Basically they allow you to choose which method will be invoked based on a request parameter or action mapping configuration
There are at least 3 “flavours” of DispatchAction: EventDispatchAction, LookupDispatchAction, and MappingDispatchAction.
I’d recommend you to take a lookt at EventDispatchAction that was introduced in Struts 1.2.9.
