+1 on one-action-method per Action class.
My personal opinion (after nearly 5 years of heavy WebWork/s2 use) is
that this is the best-practice and that multiple action methods per
Action class should be a rarity.
For some reason folks new to s2 seem to get it backwards and want to
stuff a bunch of Action methods into a single Action class.
There's a lot of downsides to that (as this post and another recent post
both illustrate) and there are few upsides. And the upsides you might
think are upsides (like code sharing between Action methods) are often
not the upsides you think they are. If you're sharing lots of code
between Action methods, it's my experience that code belongs in other
classes or even in other tiers.
My first WebWork app had a small number of Actions and lots of Action
methods. I came to regret it.
My latest s2 apps have one-action-method per Action class. Religiously,
no matter how silly it might seem to write a do-nearly-nothing Action.
I'm much, much happier this way and the app is way more self-documenting.
Just my $.02.
