seems to be a disconnect between xwork and struts the 3rd parameter is a map extraContext - a Map of extra parameters to be provided to the ActionProxy xwork is the higher authority since it is a base library..here is the doc from xwork 1.2.3
createActionProxyhttp://www.opensymphony.com/xwork/api/com/opensymphony/xwork2/ActionProxyFactory.html public abstract ActionProxy createActionProxy(String namespace, String actionName, Map extraContext, boolean executeResult, boolean cleanupContext) throws Exception Creates an ActionProxy for the given namespace and action name by looking up the configuration. The ActionProxy should be fully initialized when it is returned, including having an ActionInvocation instance associated. Parameters:namespace - the namespace of the actionactionName - extraContext - a Map of extra parameters to be provided to the ActionProxyexecuteResult - flag which tells whether the result should be executed after the actioncleanupContext - Returns:ActionProxy Throws: Exception apparently Struts Doc is out of synch with xwork doc huihoo gets it right ActionProxy createActionProxy(String namespace, String actionName, Map extraContext, boolean executeResult, boolean cleanupContext) Creates an ActionProxy for the given namespace and action name by looking up the configuration. and yes please file a JIRA in Struts Documentation Thanks Martin Gainty ______________________________________________ Disclaimer and Confidentiality/Verzicht und Vertraulichkeitanmerkung/Note de déni et de confidentialité This message is confidential.
