Dave, Excuse me for insisting, but the problem of using <s:action> is that you need to offer always it as url... In other words, 'yes' i need to call a service from the JSP without an action mapping that serves it and skip the intermediate layer, but also perhaps is necessary pass some request or session parameters to this service and they have not been necessary for the executed action. Any solution?
I would want to insist that with Struts2 (as main difference with Struts1) you do not need an intermediate layer.. It has become unnecessary because you have lost the coupling with the kind of communication interface (in this case HTTP) and you could use your actions for instance, in a swing application. Therefore, using Spring or any other IoC framework having Struts2 is unnecessary and you lost a lot of performance because you need to use reflection twice (one for the action and another one for the service). In fact, when I used Struts1, I used the commons-chain library to make the same task as Struts 2 to call the command passing a map with all request and session parameters. Therefore, in general, only one action class was necessary in all the configuration, because this default action returns the result (put by the command) than gives the forward..
