You know Martin, I was all set to reply with two or three points that I
THOUGHT were valid against this, but as I started writing them up (I think
three or four messages began and aborted!) I decided what you've done I
actually DO like! :)
The one comment that remains is this... The approach I
Thanks for your comments, Michael. If you've been following the dev
list lately, you've seen some beginning discussions on a Struts 2.0
rearchitecting that would indeed leverage everything we've all learned
in the four years since Struts was first created. I have some
specific proposals to make
Craig,
In the near future, you'll also see the initial release
candidate of the Struts-Faces integration library (packaged
separately from the rest of Struts) that allows JavaServer
Faces to be used with Struts 1.1 or 1.2 based applications,
including the use of the Tiles Framework and

I don't really like your approach and don't want to see such an Action
added to a Framework like Struts. Here's a few comments why:
A big part of the reason I posted this was to see if this
I agree with Reinhard's reasons that something this specific to
particular data access mechanisms might not be appropriate as a part of
the core framework. That being said, questions about downloading binary
data come up often enough that something like this would make a dandy
example
There are some things that I certainly agree with michael on and this
is one of them.
I think ( and i'm not alone in thinking this ) that struts needs a complete
overhaul.
At present the only reason I use it is because all the existing tooling
supports it.
eg m7 nitrox, WSAD, MyEclipse etc
I'd been thinking about something in between. How about an Action that
does all the drudge work, but leaves the details to the implementor?
Something, perhaps, like this:
http://www.apache.org/~martinc/struts/DownloadAction.java
This provides easy solutions for downloading files from the file
Ok, I'm not knocking jdbc but for me using hibernate this is what my
action class looks like
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception {
Long id = new
