I find that this can still be a valid solution, even when business logic is entirely factored out of Actions. For example, I have Form A and Form B, both of which nest Form C. My Actions are all related to LookupDispatchActions. Action A checks the request for Form A specific submissions, and then calls Action C to check for Form C specific submissions. Similarly, Action B checks the request for Form B specific submissions, and then calls Action C to check for Form C specific submissions. Since my business logic is well factored, I could have had Action A and Action B check all the same stuff in the request that Action C does, and then call all the same business logic that Action C does, but why? Then, I would have to do the same in every Action processing a Form which nests Form C. Action C always handles whatever Form C may sumbit on any form in which it is nested; I instantiate it, and execute it, and it's up to the "parent" Action to determine what to do with the returned forward. I had been doing this with chaining, but we all know where that leads ;) m

You would be much better off doing a spot of refactoring. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 4 September 2003 22:37 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Can we create a Action class object Why? This sounds like bad design. Why not just refactor the common code out into a helper class and call that from both actions? -- Danny Yates -----Original Message----- From: Ashok.D [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 04 September 2003 14:42 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Can we create a Action class object Hi, Can we create a Action class object. I need to access the perform method from another Action class. If we access this Action class by using *.do, I have some limiations in my application. I don't want to use action.do. But I need to execute another action class perform method. Pls put some light on this issue.
