DispatchAction的流程：

DispatchAction会减少Action数量，并且可以对同类方法进行统一处理。一般情况下，Action是一个模块一个，ActionForm也是一个模块一个，如一个用户管理模块就只要一个Action和一个ActionForm。

 

DispatchAction的流程：

public abstract class DispatchAction extends Action {

 

         public ActionForward execute(mapping, form, request, response) throws Exception {

        

                  // Get the parameter. This could be overridden in subclasses.

                  //得到parameter="command"

                   String parameter = getParameter(mapping, form, request, response);

 

                 // Get the method's name. This could be overridden in subclasses.

               //得到如usermaintain.do?command=del中的"del"

                String name = getMethodName(mapping, form, request, response, parameter);

      

                // Prevent recursive calls

                //如usermaintain.do?command=execute是不允许的，如允许会覆盖DispatchAction.execute(),造成安全问题。

                if ("execute".equals(name) || "perform".equals(name)){

                            throw new ServletException(message);

                  }

                  

                   // Invoke the named method, and return the result

                   return dispatchMethod(mapping, form, request, response, name);

 

         }

        

        

         protected ActionForward dispatchMethod(mapping, form, request, response, String name) throws Exception {

 

                // Make sure we have a valid method name to call.

                // This may be null if the user hacks the query string.

               //name为空，即usermaintain.do。所以可以覆写unspecified()方法

               if (name == null) {

                      return this.unspecified(mapping, form, request, response); //在这里抛出异常

               }

 

              // Identify the method object to be dispatched to

              //name不为空，会拿到method，进行动态调用。

                Method method = null;

                try {

                       method = getMethod(name);

               } catch(......) {......}

 

                ActionForward forward = null;

                 try {//把相应的参数传递过去

                      Object args[] = {mapping, form, request, response};

                      //this 是当前的UserAction

                        forward = (ActionForward) method.invoke(this, args);

                } catch(......) {......}

 

                  // Return the returned ActionForward instance

                  return (forward);

}

        

}
