Hi, I just had a look at the code and tested it. Unfortunately it does not work if you close the action tag as you thought Rickard. When the Action tag end is reached it calls the dispatcher finalizeContext method which creates a new ActionContext object and sets it. The lookup table from any previous context is then put into the new context. But if you do not have a previous context (like in this model-1 example), it is of course empty.
Wouldn't it be nice if in a web environment the stuff that is consistent during the request, would remain in the ActionContext? Perhaps it could be solved by adding another lookup table in the ActionContext for those "long-lived" objects (request, response, servletcontext, session...). In the finalizeContext method that map would just be transferred to the new ActionContext created. The "long-lived" lookup table would still be set whenever an action is dispatched from ServletDispatcher or from an Action tag etc, so that no old data would be lingering in the context. Just a thought....
