Hi, 1.) I would like to know if it is possible to call the struts framework through a command line or a console application. Can one call an action class? Is there any possibility to do so? I think its not possible as everything would depend on the struts-config file and the Http Request object. From the config file the request would probably know which action class to invoke and the respective bean (if needed for any business logic) would be called.
2.) I have a web application which is based on the struts framework. I know for a fact that only once the request is submitted the struts-config would map the action and the bean. But what happens in a case where there would be no Http Servlet Request object, instead it would be a call from a console application trying to invoke an action class to perform the business logic; is that possible? 3.) What if i create a HttpServletRequest object in the console app and then call the action class? Can we call the action class in this manner by instantiating it and calling execute(). Then I would probably have to call the bean in the action class itself beating the MVC pattern framework and the use of the config file. Not sure if we can invoke the config file from command line. Please give your thoughts on this. I am not sure if I have been clear enough in explaining this. My main requirement is to try and see if i can call and execute the business logic implemented on the struts framework (in action and bean) through a console application -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Calling-Struts-Action-file-through-command-line.-tp29449292p29449292.html Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
