I have checked them out, but the context is no different from the stack. At some point, the objects you need have to be placed on the stack. The question is, what is the best practice for where these objects should be added? In the action?
I've found that its often advantageous, when working with templating engines especially (which require two components- servlet + template), to separate view logic (retrieval of data to display) from action logic (which actually does something, ie modify data, etc). Wondering how WebWork supports this...
