                 Key: WW-2198
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2198
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Integration
    Affects Versions: 2.0.10, 2.0.9, 2.0.8, 2.0.7, 2.0.6, 2.0.5, 2.0.4, 2.0.3, 
2.0.2, 2.0.1, 2.0.0
            Reporter: Nestor Boscan
            Priority: Minor


In WebWorks there is a DWR and Struts 2 Integration using the DWRAction class 
where yo can invoke the Action methods using DWR. I implemented a similar 
class, but not with all the functionality with Struts 2. I've done a project 
with this integration and it works really great.

public class DWRAction
{
  private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger (DWRAction.class);
    
  public static Object execute (ActionDefinition actionDefinition, Map params, 
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, ServletContext 
servletContext) throws Exception {
    ActionMapping             mapping;
    Dispatcher                dispatcher;
    Map                       context;
    ActionProxy               proxy;

    try
    {
      dispatcher = Dispatcher.getInstance ();
      mapping    = new ActionMapping (actionDefinition.getAction(), 
actionDefinition.getNamespace(), actionDefinition.getMethod(), params);
      context    = dispatcher.createContextMap (request, response, mapping, 
servletContext);

      proxy      = ((ActionProxyFactory) dispatcher.getContainer ().getInstance 
(ActionProxyFactory.class)).createActionProxy (actionDefinition.getNamespace 
(), actionDefinition.getAction (), context, false, false);
      proxy.setMethod (actionDefinition.getMethod ());
      proxy.execute   ();

      return (proxy.getAction ());
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
      log.error ("Cannot invoke action '" + actionDefinition.getAction() + "' 
in namespace '" + actionDefinition.getNamespace() + "'", e);
      throw e;
    }
  }
}

In this case I'm invoking the actions method and returning the action to the 
JSP page so I can access attributes that were set in the invocation. It would 
be nice to have something like this part of the Struts 2 standard. If you need 
help implemening this solution I would gladly help.
