Hi Ian, First let me congratulate you on your Struts2 book, I honestly think it's one of the best technical books I've read in a while: it's thorough, practical and tackles every day issues. Kudos to you!
About that WebWork flash interceptor, it seems to me that it's not that useful. AFAICT it simply puts the previously executed action on the value stack given to the currently executed action. This works great if all you need is access properties in the final JSP, but what if the current action needs to access these properties? If I understand correctly, to do this the action must browse through the value stack explicitly or do an OGNL lookup on the value stack. To me this seems impractical and feels very different from the overall Struts2 paradigm. The Scope plugin also feels like too much a departure from the Struts2 paradigm. What would be great is if an interceptor would inject all properties that are shared by the previous and the current action (by name? by type?) in the current action, in a similar fashion to HTTP parameter injection. Is there an interceptor that does this or is this something that should be developed?
