/**
 * MethodConfigurationProvider creates ActionConfigs for potential action
 * methods that lack a corresponding action mapping,
 * so that these methods can be invoked without extra or redundant configuration.
 * <p/>
 * As a dynamic method, the behavior of this class could be represented as:
 * <p/>
 * <code>
 * int bang = name.indexOf('!');
 * if (bang != -1) {
 * String method = name.substring(bang + 1);
 * mapping.setMethod(method);
 * name = name.substring(0, bang);
 * }
 * </code>
 * <p/>
 * If the action URL is "foo!bar", the the "foo" action is invoked,
 * calling "bar" instead of "execute".
 * <p/>
 * Instead of scanning each request at runtime, the provider creates action mappings
 * for each method that could be matched using a dynamic approach.
 * Advantages over a dynamic approach are that:
 * <p/>
 * <ul>
 * <ol>The "dynamic" methods are not a special case, but just another action mapping,
 * with all the features of a hardcoded mapping.
 * <ol>When needed, a manual action can be provided for a method and invoked with the same
 * syntax as an automatic action.
 * <ol>The ConfigBrowser can display all potential actions.
 * </ul>
