029/**
030 * Implementation of {@link MethodNameResolver} which supports several strategies
031 * for mapping parameter values to the names of methods to invoke.
032 *
033 * <p>The simplest strategy looks for a specific named parameter, whose value is
034 * considered the name of the method to invoke. The name of the parameter may be
035 * specified as a JavaBean property, if the default {@code action} is not
036 * acceptable.
037 *
038 * <p>The alternative strategy uses the very existence of a request parameter (
039 * i.e. a request parameter with a certain name is found) as an indication that a
040 * method with the same name should be dispatched to. In this case, the actual
041 * request parameter value is ignored. The list of parameter/method names may
042 * be set via the {@code methodParamNames} JavaBean property.
043 *
044 * <p>The second resolution strategy is primarily expected to be used with web
045 * pages containing multiple submit buttons. The 'name' attribute of each
046 * button should be set to the mapped method name, while the 'value' attribute
047 * is normally displayed as the button label by the browser, and will be
048 * ignored by the resolver.
049 *
050 * <p>Note that the second strategy also supports the use of submit buttons of
051 * type 'image'. That is, an image submit button named 'reset' will normally be
052 * submitted by the browser as two request parameters called 'reset.x', and
053 * 'reset.y'. When checking for the existence of a parameter from the
054 * {@code methodParamNames} list, to indicate that a specific method should
055 * be called, the code will look for a request parameter in the "reset" form
056 * (exactly as specified in the list), and in the "reset.x" form ('.x' appended
057 * to the name in the list). In this way it can handle both normal and image
058 * submit buttons. The actual method name resolved, if there is a match, will
059 * always be the bare form without the ".x".
060 *
061 * <p><b>Note:</b> If both strategies are configured, i.e. both "paramName"
062 * and "methodParamNames" are specified, then both will be checked for any given
063 * request. A match for an explicit request parameter in the "methodParamNames"
064 * list always wins over a value specified for a "paramName" action parameter.
065 *
066 * <p>For use with either strategy, the name of a default handler method to use
067 * when there is no match, can be specified as a JavaBean property.
068 *
069 * <p>For both resolution strategies, the method name is of course coming from
070 * some sort of view code, (such as a JSP page). While this may be acceptable,
071 * it is sometimes desirable to treat this only as a 'logical' method name,
072 * with a further mapping to a 'real' method name. As such, an optional
073 * 'logical' mapping may be specified for this purpose.
