As  per my understanding, both perform() and execute() is the same method with different names. The prior version of struts supported "validate() and Perform()" for your action class whereas the present versions supprots "validate() and Execute()" for validation and execution of the code.

If you implement non - http specific execute() method of Action class and to that Action class if you make http protocol specific request then this execute() method with convert the received ServletRequest, ServletResponse object into Http Secific and then internally calls perform() method.

Please reply me if you don understand ok.

Ok, fine. Actually perform() and execute() can do same tasks.In struts1.0, have performExecute() and sturts 1.1 have execute() for performing or executing business logic.

execute method calls perform() internally

The Struts base Action class has been modified with a new method called execute(), i.e. The perform() method has been deprecated in Struts 1.1.

The main difference between the two is that the execute() method declares that it throws java.lang.Exception, where as the earlier perform() method declared IOException and ServletException.

Hi,

The struts controller "ActionServlet" preprocess method calls the different methods before handling the request to the controller. It calls the follwoing methods to create, populate and validate the input data.

// Process any ActionForm bean related to this request
        ActionForm form =
            processActionForm(request, response, mapping);
        processPopulate(request, response, form, mapping);
        if (!processValidate(request, response, form, mapping)) {
            return;
        }

Hi all,

Struts 1.0 uses Perform method where as struts 1.1 uses Execute method.

On using perform method, we can only catch servlet exceptions.

where as using execute method, all type of exceptions can be caught using declarative
Exceptions available in struts 1.1.

Thank you

At Struts 1.1 ,  Added one feature i.e Declarative Exception Handling  where we can   throw any  user Definced exceptions. but Perform() mehtod is  allows us to throw IOException and ServletExcpetion . So  added  excute() which allows  us throw any Exceptions now.

The new method execte() is necessary because perform() method declares that it throws only IOException and ServletException. Due to the added declarative exception-handling functionality the framework needs to catch all instance of java.lang.Exception from Action class.

Instead of changing the method signature for the perform() method and breaking backward compatibility the execute method was added.



Thanks,
Vinay
