Martin, I tried with :
ActionProxy proxy = actionProxyFactory.createActionProxy(namespace, mapping.getName(), "execute", ctx); Somehow the method name is coming in as null, so i hardcoded it to execute for now ; need to see why. This seems to work fine, i'm getting the errors as an alert box on the page, but that's a different story. Should i open a JIRA for this ?
