I have read through the spring plugin wiki page http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11/docs/spring-plugin.html for struts2.
I want my actions to be completely managed by spring, so i am declaring them in applicationContext.xml. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-2.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-2.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-2.0.xsd"; xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"; xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"; xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util";> <bean id="com.cerner.healthe.struts2.action.AccountResendAction" class="com.cerner.healthe.struts2.action.AccountResendAction" singleton="false"> <property name="userService" ref="com.cerner.healthe.struts2.service.UserService" /> <property name="provisioningService" ref="com.cerner.healthe.struts2.service.ProvisioningService" /> </bean> ... </beans> However, when starting my application, spring throws an error: * org.xml.sax.SAXParseException*: cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'singleton' is not allowed to appear in element 'bean'. I have also found an older version of the wiki page http://cwiki.apache.org/WW/spring.html that gives an explanation of the 'singleton' attribute: The singleton attribute is set to false, meaning that Spring will create a new Action class upon each request, as Struts 1 would do. Is this attribute no longer necessary?
