How to get the action name..Struts2

[amol bakre]

Hi,

How can i get the name of the action invoked in my action class so that i can control the behavior of my action class..

What would be the simplest way without having to implement and override etc..

O by the way, m working with Struts2

Why would you want to?

That information is contained in the ActionInvocation, but I can think of very few use-cases where this would be necessary, and fewer where it would be a good idea.

O well maybe i am not very good with struts..
What i wanna do is use the same action class to open a jsp form page without having to execute the processing logic contained within the action class.

That is an action class when invoked should just return success and open a jsp form page. however this is the same action class that is invoked (to process and call other services, insert data) after some data entry is done on the jsp form page and submitted to the server..

which is why i though that if there was a way to read the action name then the processing logic in the action class could be bipassed and executed for the case when form is submitted to it.
any suggestions on how to do this thing the simplest and the most efficient way..
