I think it's a great idea. Similarly, Commons Validator lets you specify your validation interface in xml, giving you maximum flexibility instead of requiring you to extend a base class. Requiring users to extend Action and ActionForm has been a sticking point for some in the adoption of Struts so anything we can do to simplify the usage earns a +1 from me. > > Incidently, I built my extension off struts-chain, so it works > side-by-side regular Struts actions, forwards, and forms.
