Lukasz Lenart commented on WW-4874:
-----------------------------------
I would wait till 2.6 - this change can impact users. I have created 2.5.15
just to cover the latest discovered issues but it should be a small release (in
case of number of fixed issues). We can work on both releases the same time -
we can create a branch off of the latest 2.5.14.1 tag.
> Asynchronous action method
> --------------------------
>
> Key: WW-4874
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4874
> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core Actions, Dispatch Filter
> Reporter: Yasser Zamani
> Labels: action, asynchronous
> Fix For: 2.5.x
>
> Original Estimate: 1,344h
> Remaining Estimate: 1,344h

> User will be able to return {{java.util.concurrent.Callable<String>}} in
> their actions. Struts when sees such result, runs {{resultCode =
> result.call();}} in it's own managed thread pool but exits from servlet's
> main thread with a null result, i.e. gives back main thread to container and
> leaves response open for concurrent processing. When {{resultCode =
> result.call();}} returned, Struts calls
> {{javax.servlet.AsyncContext.dispatch()}} and {{resumes request processing}}
> within a container's thread servlet to generate the appropriate result for
> user according to {{resultCode}}.
> This adds better support for SLS (Short request processing, Long action
> execution, Short response processing) via Servlet 3's Async API.
> Support of other cases like SSL (e.g. a download server) or LLL(e.g. a video
> converter server) is still open.
