You may want to take a look at the Struts Dialogs: http://struts.sourceforge.net/strutsdialogs/ It is a new development within Struts Application project.
It was me who wrote the article on TSS, and I am gradually making these ideas into usable components. DialogAction is an action which uses POST-redirect-GET pattern to split input and output into two separate phases. It uses action form as a temporary buffer for UI data. It also handles messages for you. Current version needs Struts 1.2.6+, becuase its clearMessages() method uses new error-handling method: saveErrors(HttpSession session, ActionMessages messages). I am going to refactor this code to make it work with earlier versions of Struts. If you need to work it right now, just change saveErrors(HttpSession session, ActionMessages messages) simply to session.setAttribute(Globals.ERROR_KEY, messages); You may also find this article interesting: http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsCatalogInputOutputSeparation I personally do not like to attach data to redirected request for several reasons. * First, this data is not stored on the server. Thus, if you leave the page and then navigate to it, typing URL in the browser address bar, you will not see messages. * Appending data to URL makes URL "dirty" and encourages browser to build up page history with each request. In DialogAction I tried to keep URL clean and to avoid increasing page history. This helps in fighting with stale pages. Let me know if you have further questions. Michael.
