we have found that implementing 1 action for add 1 action for edit etc... is better from the standpoint of maintainability. (it's easier to find the edit code if it's in the edit Action) we avoid code duplication by making abstract actions that contain the duplicated code
ie. AbstractPersonAction - contains common code for person creation update delete, etc... AddPersonAction - add specific code EditPersonAction - edit specific code btw. we also try to keep 3 seperate jsps. this may seem like more work but the complications that can arise from having too many <choose> tags in your jsps to switch between modes outweigh the addition overhead of extra jsps in the long run. -----Original Message----- From: Joao Batistella [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 11:28 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: One Action class but more than one functionality Hello. I have an action class to create, edit and remove a Person, for example. Is this a poor decision? I mean, should I create 3 action classes, one for create, another for edit and another one for remove? Does struts have a mechanism to help me in that? Thanks all. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
