There's an Event and Handler item on the 1.1 TODO list Could this be
part of that?
< http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/todo-1.1.html >
David Geary made nice proposal orginally, but I can't find it in the

Though at this point, I'd personally like to see something that was
compatible with Barracuda (and entirely optional).

This might also play nice with the workflow proposal, since I don' tknow
how anything but the simplest of workflows would be possble with what we
have now.
