Joe is correct that you don't have to understand chain to use Struts 1.3. But if you do learn about chains, you will be able to configure Struts even more to your liking!
I personally lovel chain. Once you see how it works in Struts you will be able to find uses for it in your own programs. I actually use it most for business logic (as opposed to request processing.) Chain is also being used in the Struts-Shale project. Its one of those nice little tools you can use all over the place. sean On Tue, 1 Feb 2005 16:00:32 -0600, Joe Germuska <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At 10:37 PM +0100 2/1/05, Carl Azoury wrote: > > I was just curious, reading this mailing list for a long > >time, and learning > >a lot.... > > > > I have seen a lot of thingd about commons chain, struts > >chain, how it will > >integrate in struts 1.3 for the RequestProcessor, and then maybe at the > >action level. > > > > A part of the apache commons chains home page, where can i get more > >information about chains in struts ?
