Jack, A use case is:
- Two struts actions (say CreateAction and EditAction call the same jsp to view the result (say result.jsp). - This result.jsp needs some setup (eg. a list of items for a selection box). - The natural way to populate such a list in struts, is in the action. - To prevent having the logic to populate the list both in CreateAction and in EditAction, some users create a new ResultAction, where they do the view preparation. - Then they chain the action (this is controversal stuff): . In CreateAction they do creation logic, and than forward to ResultAction. . In EditAction they do edit logic, and than forward to ResultAction. As discussed in bug 16107: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16107 Regards, Jan -----Original Message----- From: Dakota Jack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: dinsdag 4 januari 2005 15:34 To: Struts Developers List Subject: Coupling, Struts and JSF Craig, I have been trying, again, to understand your position on Shale. In the wiki, you say "[y]et in Struts 1.x, for example, the setup logic and processing logic end up in two different Actions, requiring multiple action mappings". Could you expand on this a bit, remembering, if you would, that I am not a novice. I have not run into a problem here and wonder what you are talking about in concrete terms. I personally do not run into this problem and am philosophically counter to the idea that coupling can be good. I am pretty "knee jerk" in favor of decoupling where possible. This is one of the main reasons I have difficulty with JSF. I really am contrary to the coupling.
