Hi,

I have problem with type attribute of action in struts-config.xml...

In my application I have the following action class structure:

/**
 * @struts.action path="/parentAction1" name="ParentForm2"...
 *  		
 * @struts.action path="/parentAction2" name="ParentForm2"...
 */
public class ParentAction extends Action {}

/**
 * @struts.action path="/childAction" name="ChildForm"...
 */
public class ChildAction extends ParentAction {}


The struts-config.xml file generated by XDoclet than looks like this:

<action 
  path="/childAction"
  type="my.package.action.ChildAction"
  .../>

<action 
  path="/parentAction1"
  type="my.package.action.ChildAction"
  .../>

<action 
  path="/parentAction2"
  type="my.package.action.ParentAction"
  .../>


Type of parentAction1 is wrongly set as "my.package.action.ChildAction".
When I try to get "/parentAction1.do" ChildAction code is executed,
which usually fail on ClassCastException.
Have anyone met this problem before?

Thanks,

Jaroslav Cibulka
