I was trying to create a prototype of struts2 + jsf. In the process I
found that the mappings have to be used with "action" as default.
Like
<h:inputText id="userName" value="#{action.userName}" />
or
<h:commandButton action="#{action.doSomething}"/>
instead of using action names from struts configuration directly. For
example if I have configured an action as login in struts config, I
should able to use it in jsf component like
<h:commandButton action="#{login.doSomething}"/>
But interestingly thats not the case. I thought that in Struts2
framework all the actions with interceptor stack as jsf would act
similar to managed beans in a JSF framework. I mean use them by the
names configured in faces-config.xml.
But if I want to do that in struts2, I need faces-config.xml and normal
struts2 actions which is disappointing. I mean what about the scenario
where I have to send a jsf request to different action than the one
which last rendered it? So my main question is how can I use action
names in the jsf component?
Am I missing something here or is that the way it was designed?
Thanks
