Are we going to make any API additions in 1.3.x or 1.4.x?
For example, Validate includes a parameter for the ServletRequest. Are we going to migrate that to a ActionContext (or something)?
If so, we could use ActionMessages with the new signature, and deprecate the old. If the parameters are different, then the signature is different.
Well, I've mentioned before that I find an ActionContext appealing. That's a good point. Start simply by making ActionContext have bean properties for the four objects normally passed into execute?
I think we'd want to have a factory process for getting instances of the ActionContext, because the way we use it, we put lots of things specific to our app design in there as well.
In a Chain world, that could just be a command found using the "lookup" functionality, with a default lookup which just made a new instance.
