How to execute a custom Webwork Action method after submitting form?

Seyid Aghayev

Hello, 

I am writing a plugin webwork with a post method inside a vm file, but cannot find anywhere a documentation about my problem. 

I want my function to execute when I press the submit button. It always executes the execute() method. I have found different sources, where it is said to use 

 

<form method="post" action="ActionName!methodName.jspa">

And when defining a method, using something like:

public String doMethodName()

 This did not work for me. Then I have found that command definitions are needed in atlassian-plugin.xml file. This also did not work. 

Can anyone guide me to the right direction with that or provide me with documentation about this "!" symbol usage with post method? 

Thank you

I have solved the problem by changing the default execute() method name to doExecute(). Now it does not run the execute() method and goes to the doMethodName() method. I don't know why this is not documented anywhere. Is there any information about usage of "!" symbol in form actions to execute my custom methods? I have found this solution in video tutorials and nothing in Atlassian documentation.
