+1. And also XML RPC called via JavaScript from a browser w/o a submit. (To me, any time you call an "action" before a bean.... == Struts)
Already in 1.1 execute() signature is a bit different for tiles action then "Struts" action.
But maybe post on dev list for suggestions? (or even put sample implementation in bugzila). I am sure lots of good and bad ideas:
-Have struts work a bit more like JasperRepports - via Jelly ie: describe the JSP page in XML, so other projects can have code generators and IDE's. (like they have Eclipse plugin in fo JasperReport XML)
- a default action on dispatch action; dispatch action for tiles;
-ship Struts with JSTL via Maven;
-more interfaces?;
-deprecate some tags;
- make a DAO interface in Commons; (extends iterator?) people could implement many ways.
- more exotic JavaScript tags in Taglibs (Calendar, ....);
- some default actions with default behavior (ex: onExecuteSave() {formBean.save();};
-encapsulate req, resp, mapping, formbean into an event object so : execute(eventObject eo) { x= eo.getRequest(); .....] this allows for many action signatures to be replaced with one;
- add a testIt() abstract method to formBeans and the like (thus encouraging developers to unit test the bean patters before placing in Struts
- Styxx, Stuts Menu added in
- Should formBean extend collection and have a DAO property (makes master detail multi row trivial)
- indexed tag alternative having a concept of groped bands with nesting, like JasperReports (I have no Idea how to implement)
Oh yeah, maybe first let you ship 1.1 and get out of the way and thank you one more time for even having 1.1. (and then see the initiatives). Is there a new list of open bugs for 1.1 release?

Struts Users, I would like to propose that Struts be extended to support another entry point. The ActionServlet would be augmented by an Axis/SOAP Web Services Interface to Struts. FormBeans would be part of the payload for requests. Responses would be generated by Forwards for SOAP. This new Axis entry point would do the same work as ActionServlet with the only significant difference being the construction of the FormBean. Incoming SOAP Requests would be configured to call the same RequestHandlers and as far as the actions go they won't know that the source was an HTML Form or a serialized FormBean. I feel this will give a great deal of flexibility to Applications where they want a Web Browser User Interface as well as Web Services for the same Application Data Model and Business Logic. I am planning on doing this anyway, and felt it applicable to this group and would offer to share it as a sub project and would welcome contributions of thought, expertise and code.
