Can i replace a default WebAction bean with my own one?

Question

Hi all.

I want to modify some default actions (EditIssue or EditComment for example). Of course, I can simply modify a default class. But maybe it is another way? Can i configure, which WebAction should be used, when user trying to edit a comment for example?

Have a look at this tutorial. Note that you cannot override the same action in 2 plugins. Also, in the JIRA latest versions, some of the actions are added in plugins instead of core JIRA. You can't override them as well. Everything else should work fine.
