Craig just checked in a new lightweight PlugIn mechanism a few days ago. The commit message is here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-dev%40jakarta.apache.org/msg05002.html Coincidentally, this is almost identical to a mechanism I implemented in one of my own apps recently. The PlugIn API is somewhat stripped down compared to the ServiceManager, so it's possible that it won't meet your needs. The ServiceManager itself has largely been moved to Jakarta Commons, and is currently in the sandbox: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-commons-sandbox/services/ I don't know what the timeline is for progress on that. -- Martin Cooper ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ditlinger, Steve" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 1:22 PM Subject: Plug in services > > > We'd been wondering here how one could invent a mechanism to mix and match > different Struts extensions. i.e. combine Tiles (and its > ActionComponentServlet) with our SSL switching extension (and its > SecureActionServlet) without having to rewrite SecureActionServlet to extend > ActionComponentServlet. > > I found some struts-dev threads from last summer and autumn discussing the > idea of plug-in services so that developers can perhaps add capabilities to > ActionServlet without extending ActionServlet.
