You were correct - Actions in S2 can be POJO's. They don't need to implement or extend anything, and in fact, don't even need any annotations. Now, we still do have an Action interface with a single execute method that you can implement if you'd like, and we also have several support classes you can extend - ActionSupport and DefaultActionSupport - with the latter being the preferred superclass.
How Struts 2 handles things like localisation, validation, error and normal messages, etc., is through decorating your Action with certain interfaces like Validatable and TextProvider. These support classes implement many of these extra interfaces, saving you time and code, but as I mentioned, they are completely optional. Don On 5/11/07, Rick Schumeyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
It's quite possible I'm confused, but I thought that actions in S2 were now POJOs. In Webwork in Action, for example, we see: public class HelloWorld implements Action but in the blank application we see public class ExampleSupport extends ActionSupport Is this an example where Webwork in Action is out-of-date, or can you still do something like that with S2? If so, is there a reason why I *would not* want to use POJOs with an Action interface? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
