Another reason why returning Results directly would be nice is it would make it much easier to add zero-config Action scripting support. Here is a case where you would want to write Actions in a scripting language like Groovy or Javascript, but not want any external configuration. Conventions, combined with returned Results, would make it easy to write a Ruby-on-Rails-style controllers, and the lack of a compilation step for Actions would really speed up development.
Again, not for every application, but at least this way it would be possible. Don On 7/26/06, Jason Carreira <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Well, not so much Hibernate 'cause I don't find myself in stack traces with Hibernate proxies in the middle, but AOP interceptor / proxies are in there all the time and it's a pain. At least there they are wrapping my implementation, so I can see where my code was and get to it. The AOP interceptor code can also be stepped into. In this case you'd have magically runtime-created classes with implementations that aren't backed by any source code. > If you get an exception in your result, the action > that led to it will > be in the stack trace; that's more than you can say > about the current > state of affairs. How often do you get an exception in the result that isn't some obscure FM template issue?

Rails is nifty and all, but the stuff I've seen built with it isn't exactly rocket science. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.opensymphony.com/thread.jspa?threadID=38338&messageID=75939#75939 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
