RE: Can we create a Action class object
Why? This sounds like bad design.

Danny is right you know. I probably didnt stress the point well enough in my own response to the question just now.

RE: Can we create a Action class object
The Action class normally has a reference to the ActionServlet that is set by the ActionServlet or RequestProcessor (I forget which) when the object is instantiated. If you are instantiating an Action instance yourself you will want to set it, in case the code in the other action needs to get at the servlet reference (or through it to get the ServletContext reference). Action myAction = new MyAction(); myAction.setServlet( getServlet() ); myAction.execute(mapping, form, request, response); Hmm. setServlet() is public in 1.1 final release, but Ive noticed in the nightly docs it now seems to be package protected. That could be very bad for a framework extension Im working on. :-( -but its also another good indication that you ought to factor out the common code into a third class rather than trying to re-use the action! ;-) -Original Message- From: Ashok.D [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 4 September 2003 22:45 To: Struts Users Mailing List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Can we create a Action class object Hi Andrew Hill, Thanks for your reply.

RE: Can we create a Action class object
I find that this can still be a valid solution, even when business logic is entirely factored out of Actions. For example, I have Form A and Form B, both of which nest Form C. My Actions are all related to LookupDispatchActions. Action A checks the request for Form A specific submissions, and then calls Action C to check for Form C specific submissions. Similarly, Action B checks the request for Form B specific submissions, and then calls Action C to check for Form C specific submissions. Since my business logic is well factored, I could have had Action A and Action B check all the same stuff in the request that Action C does, and then call all the same business logic that Action C does, but why? Then, I would have to do the same in every Action processing a Form which nests Form C. Action C always handles whatever Form C may sumbit on any form in which it is nested; I instantiate it, and execute it, and it's up to the parent Action to determine what to do with the returned forward. I had been doing this with chaining, but we all know where that leads ;) m Andrew Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Danny is right you know.
