The @Result annotation allows the definition of Action results in the Action class rather than an XML file.

In order for @Result and @Results annotations to be configured correctly you must set the actionPackages filter init-param to a comma-separated list of packages containing the annotated Action classes. See Zero Configuration for further information; there are Action class naming conventions if you don't implement the Action interface and other tidbits there.

@Result Annotation Parameters

• name - Result name; default Action.SUCCESS
• value - Value of result (result destination)
• type - Type of result; default NullResult. For example:
  • NullResult.class
  • FreemarkerResult.class
  • PlainTextResult.class
  • VelocityResult.class
  • ServletDispatcherResult.class
  • ServletRedirectResult.class
  • ServletActionRedirectResult.class - equivalent to the redirectAction type in XML config
  • TilesResult.class
  • .. (for more result, please consult the API docs, and look for implementations of the XWork Result interface)
• params - An Array of the parameters in the form {key1, value1, key2, value2}

@Result – Defining a Single Result

Map the "success" result (explicitly named) to a Tile definition named "/home.page".

@Results – Defining Multiple Results

Defines a set of results for an Action.
