Some days it just doesn't pay to chew through the leather straps and come to work...
I would like to add a layer of inheritance between the org.apache.struts.action.Action class and my application's Action subclasses. IE: MyAction extends ORGAction extends Action. Seems simple enough, however when I set this up and run my applicaiton it doesn't work. No error messages, no compile errors, no nothing. When MyAction extends Action directly the application runs as expected and I get the proper output and log messages, like so: ==== start of copied log [02.04.10 07:28:43:630 CDT] 7f9895eb WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Process servletName=action, urlPattern=*.do [02.04.10 07:28:43:660 CDT] 7f9895eb WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Mapping for servlet 'action' = '*.do' [02.04.10 07:28:59:923 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Processing a GET for /enterVisitorDisplay [02.04.10 07:29:00:184 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Setting locale 'en_US' [02.04.10 07:29:00:194 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Looking for ActionForm bean under attribute '' [02.04.10 07:29:00:214 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Creating new ActionForm instance of class 'dhs.vcm.vis.form.SuccessContentForm' [02.04.10 07:29:00:794 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Storing instance under attribute '' in scope 'session' [02.04.10 07:29:00:804 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Populating bean properties from this request [02.04.10 07:29:01:526 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Validating input form properties [02.04.10 07:29:01:526 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Looking for Action instance for class dhs.vcm.vis.action.EnterVisitorActionDisplay [02.04.10 07:29:01:526 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Double checking for Action instance already there [02.04.10 07:29:01:526 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Creating new Action instance [02.04.10 07:29:01:706 CDT] 6572d5f7 SystemOut U EnterVisitorActionDisplay : perform : entered [02.04.10 07:29:01:826 CDT] 6572d5f7 SystemOut U EnterVisitorActionDisplay : perform : posting message [02.04.10 07:29:01:856 CDT] 6572d5f7 SystemOut U MessageRouting : postMessageToQueue : enterVisitor [02.04.10 07:29:01:866 CDT] 6572d5f7 SystemOut U EnterVisitorActionDisplay : perform : leaving now ==== end of copied log When I have MyAction extending ORGAction, which extends Action I get this: ==== start of copied log [02.04.10 07:32:02:396 CDT] 7a45d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Process servletName=action, urlPattern=*.do [02.04.10 07:32:02:416 CDT] 7a45d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Mapping for servlet 'action' = '*.do' [02.04.10 07:32:35:794 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Processing a GET for /enterVisitorDisplay [02.04.10 07:32:35:954 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Setting locale 'en_US' [02.04.10 07:32:35:974 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Looking for ActionForm bean under attribute '' [02.04.10 07:32:35:984 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Creating new ActionForm instance of class 'dhs.vcm.vis.form.SuccessContentForm' [02.04.10 07:32:36:675 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Storing instance under attribute '' in scope 'session' [02.04.10 07:32:36:685 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Populating bean properties from this request [02.04.10 07:32:37:075 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Validating input form properties [02.04.10 07:32:37:116 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Looking for Action instance for class dhs.vcm.vis.action.EnterVisitorActionDisplay [02.04.10 07:32:37:126 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Double checking for Action instance already there [02.04.10 07:32:37:136 CDT] 6572d5f7 WebGroup I SRVE0091I: [Servlet LOG]: action: Creating new Action instance ==== end of copied log What gives? I know I am doing something very basic wrong. I just can't see it. Sigh.
