Description
I'd like to propose creation of a public method in UrlBindingFactory that would allow creation of URLBinding prototypes. The method would be similar to parseUrlBinding(Class<? extends ActionBean>), but would take a String parameter instead.
Example:
UrlBinding prototype = UrlBindingFactory.parseUrlBinding(String);
Callers could use this prototype could then be used for any purpose, for example added to the URLBindingFactory in a custom ActionResolver. The use case for this particular request, FYI, is a file-based ActionResolver implementation that would read URLBindings from a file. This would permit URLBindings to be configurable rather than welded to classes as annotations.

Re-reading my hastily-typed request several months later, it's clear that I forgot the Class parameter. 
Thanks for this enhancement. The project I'm working on (JSPWiki) will make good use of this new method. I intend to create a "FileActionResolver" implementation with it, which I will contribute back to Stripes once it's done.
Ben, I don't know if you are American or not, but if you are, Happy Thanksgiving.

Hi, Andrew. I couldn't provide parseUrlBinding(String) because every UrlBinding must be associated with an ActionBean class. Instead, I added parseUrlBinding(Class, String) so you can pass in your own pattern along with the ActionBean class you want to associate it with. Hope this is sufficient for your needs.
