Hi S,
Yes, I think your code would work ... *except* that, as you mentionned,
getServlet() is deprecated with *no* replacement. Here is an extract from
the javadoc:
"This method was originally defined to retrieve a servlet from a
ServletContext. In this version, this method always returns null and remains
only to preserve binary compatibility. This method will be permanently
removed in a future version of the Java Servlet API.
In lieu of this method, servlets can share information using the
ServletContext class and can perform shared business logic by invoking
methods on common non-servlet classes."
In other words, it will not work .... However, writing:
"
MyAction action = new MyAction();
action.setServlet((new ActionServlet()).init(config));
"
is probably fine too. It is also simpler as you don't need the mapping for
ActionServlet in your web.xml file. You do need struts-config.xml though.
Hope it helps. Thanks.
