I like the StackableActionFactory, I'll make sure it gets in to XWork at least.
But what is the XAwareActionFactoryProxy exactly for? I do tons of unit testing with my actions (using GenericDispatcher as a launching place) and I've not needed something like this. Also, the *Aware interfaces have been deprecated. Maybe you can give us an example of how this would be used? -Pat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon Stewart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 4:08 AM Subject: [OS-webwork] Two classes to ease development > I've just started dabbling with WebWork after reading some of the Java > blogs (Mike's and Joe Walnes' specifically) One of the advantages of > Webwork is that it should be possible to develop "test first", which is > something else that I wanted to look into.
