OK - I'll say again - it IS optional AND explicit :) (One way to make it more explicit is make execute() final in AS?)
If you don't want 3 phase action support (for want of a better name) - use BaseActionSupport - which provides error messages and i18n. If you DO want it, use ActionSupport - which subclasses the above and provides a doValidation, doDefault, doExecute cycle. It _also_ provides backward compatibility (damn I sound like Hani here!) which is a good thing as there is no real need to break it unnecessarily? I maintain that 95% of web actions are neatest when done with 3-phase support - it's what we use most in almost all our apps! Are we just that different to the rest of the world? How do y'all do it?
