Method Action

The <action-method> can be used to call a controller method.

<action-method name="act.hello">
  <call class="com.axelor.contact.web.HelloController" method="say"/>
</action-method>

The method action requires following items:

<call> - define a call
- class - fully qualified name of the target class
- method - method name

action-method can also be called from any objects with arbitrary arguments. The result of the method can be assigned to any field.

Suppose the following controller:

import com.axelor.meta.CallMethod;

public class Hello {

  @CallMethod
  public String say(String what) {
    return "About: " + what;
  }
}

We can call this method with action-method like this:

<action-method name="act.hello">
  <call class="com.axelor.contact.web.HelloController" method="say(fullName)"/>
</action-method>
