Annotation Type ActionViewData

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=METHOD)
public @interface ActionViewData

The annotation used to indicate that a method is to be used to provide data to an JiraWebActionSupport action.

If you specify no view value then it defaults to "*" which means this applies to all the action views

By default the name of the method is used as the data key. If the method is a JavaBean getter then the de-capitalised name will be used otherwise the method name is taken as is. You can use the key="xxx" attribute to override the key name used

     getAddress() --> "address"
     myAddress()  --> "myAddress
 

Since:

v6.0
