Didn't mean to be harsh - I was just presenting the alternative
viewpoint that has to be answered. Personally I can see the benefit
that this project could offer, but the counter stance is a one to raise
is it not?

Frank forgive me here, but playing Devils Advocate, if you have clean
MVC separation then surely the last thing you want to do is to expose
Actions as Web Services.
It is reasonable to want to expose Business Service Providers such as
EJB, or TopLink beans as Web Services but that's up in the model layer,
what's the point in pushing the access point down into the Controller code?
Or do you see here a solution for all those folks who've not followed
best practice and have intermingled Controller functionality with
Business logic..?

Hello devs! This is my first time posting here, and my first attempt
at contributing to an Apache project. I hope I'm going about it
properly! :)
In short, I have a little project going with the stated goal of
allowing a Struts developer to expose any existing business logic, as
implemented in Struts Actions and their subordinate helper classes, as
Web Services, and do this with NO changes required to any existing
application code, and as little change to Struts itself as possible.
Simplicity is the key to this!
Today I released a second version of this project to the user's
mailing list, and after some feedback I think it's at a point where
I'd like to make you all aware of it, and get some higher-level
feedback. It's certainly far from complete at this point, but I think
even now it's in a useful form.
My hope is that eventually it will be good enough to be included in
the base Struts distro, but that's obviously a long way off, if ever.
With all that in mind, please at your convenience visit
http://www.omnytex.com/strutsws
There you will find some more detailed technical information and a
download which contains everything you need, including a simple sample
webapp demonstrating the whole mess.
I thank you in advance for any time you spend on this!
