-----Original Message----- From: David Chelimsky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 5 June 2003 20:59 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: passing parameters or object from one action to other Isn't this just action chaining using HTTP instead of within the jvm? I'm not sure I get the reasons why action chaining is inherently a bad idea, though I do get that there are potential pitfalls if misused, but that's true of many patterns. Can you explain? Or point me to an article that explains? Thanks. Andrew Hill wrote: >(Oops. Hit send too soon.
