Hi all
I'm tentatively planning on using multiple actions per request, one to
process the input and another to process the output. I've applied the Gang
of Four's template method pattern to Action.execute() to
create/commit/rollback a transaction. Individual subclasses implement an
overloaded execute() method and take it for granted that a txn is active.
Is there a way to configure struts so each action in the chain, as well as
the final jsp perhaps, all take place within the same transaction? I've
looked at RequestProcessor and don't see that it's the answer but it would
be nice if there was something like that, though at a higher level. For
example, there would be a preprocess() method where I could start the txn, a
process() method that would execute() all actions and jsps in the chain, a
processException() method that would rollback the transaction, and a
postprocess() method that would commit the transaction. I'm assuming that
processException() would be called before postprocess() of course.
