If I understand you right you think about using Struts controller for your swing application, or, perhaps, share controller functionality between swing and web applications.
Struts is not useful for such purpose – it 100% coupled to web, Servlet technology and HTTP.
You can consider using some other implementation of universal controller, less coupled to web, like Exadel (see http://www.exadel.com/products_products1.htm) In general your idea is attractive to me. You can share significant portion of controller functionality between different presentation channels, actually making separate layer of your application – “business functions layer”. For now it is recommended to do anyway, but you usually use EJB or just special Java classes for business functions. Why not use universal controllers? May be Struts is not right tool for that, but this is problem of Struts, the idea itself is attractive!

Hi,
If you are using HTTP with Swing client, what protocol u are planning to use?Otherwise, like u said, how can u retrieve the Data on the server?
I think U need to define a protocol for object transfer...
Have a look at SOAP...
And basically I think the idea of having a swing client for a Struts layer seems a bit difficult to digest for me...
Can you not access the model layer directly from The swing client?But then all the flow control logic will have to be implemented...
Any ideas folks??

Hi, We are developing an application with Swings as the client. We are going to talk to the server using HTTP where struts is implemented.
Client Code Hashtable hash = new Hashtable(); hash.put("name", "kiran"); hash.put("password", "justdoit"); OutputStream outputStream = conn.getOutputStream() ; ObjectOutputStream objectOutputStream = new ObjectOutputStream(outputStream); objectOutputStream.writeObject(hash);
We are not sure how to retrieve this object at the server side as when we put this object into the request using ObjectOutputStream it does not have any id.
Also we are not sure how to return the control back to the client. return (aMapping.findForward("success")); <action path="/test" type="test.TestAction"> <forward name="success" path="???????????"/> </action> How do we map it in struts-config.xml file
Thanx & Regds, Paresh.
