I've been using Struts 2 for a few weeks now and am finding a few areas that don't seem to posses the same clarity/utilty as most of the framework. I'm interested in seeing if I can come up with a patch to address these areas.
The first thing that's been bothering me is the lack of a clean way to link auto-detected actions via actionPackages with an XWork package, without resorting to lots of repetition of @ParentPackage. I submitted a JIRA issue: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2205 my writeup includes a few thoughts on what a solution might look like. I would be happy to expand upon them here or in follow-up comments there. Realized after the fact that its highly redundant with https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2016 though the latter frames it as a documentation issue, while I feel there is also a code issue. The comments on 2016 seem to indicate a very non-inutitive solution that I would feel is probably a bug that should be replaced with some other solution. (Ie @ParentPackage annotation "bleeds" through to affect other classes) I'm planning to start poking around the source tonight. However, I've seen a lot of references to annotation cleanup/plugin, but without seeing what's been planned. Searching through the open JIRA issues hasn't offered much insight either. I don't want to re-implement something that someone is already working on, etc. Thanks Eric --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
