Actions are for processing servlet requests, I would recommend not using
them for anything else. If the logic you are placing in the action is
useful in other contexts, I suggest moving it to another object (into
the BO's). Have the method(s) involved take the parameters as their
correct types if not unreasonable (e.g. you are using only two
parameters), otherwise pass the ParameterParser. Use the actions to
extract data from the RunData/ParameterParser and delegate to BO's.
