So, while action chaining sometimes works for some people in some cases, Struts wasn't designed to do it, and bugs relating to it are considered "invalid".
There are usually other ways to achieve the same goal, especially if you are being conscientious about putting your business logic in a layer that is relatively independent of Struts and keeping Struts focused on translating HTTP requests into business requests and making calls against your business layer.
Note also that the Struts RequestProcessor is evolving into a more flexibly composable "chain" model of request processing. Once that code is merged into the main branch of development, you may find that it provides a way that you could line up multiple action executions without triggering all of the pre-processing that comes before the action execution. This isn't something anyone has tackled yet, but the basic changes to the design make it something much more readily achievable.
The Chain-based request processor is currently in Struts contrib, and is thoroughly usable already, and Don Brown has said he may find time this weekend (or soon) to change the development Struts code to use it as the standard processing mechanism.

hi all ,
i have a common bean , which i need to use for two Actions classes which will execute one after another and populate the bean.
Now how can i configure the struts so that both the action will run one after another ?
Any help is welcome . .
