Trying to unify these two threads:
"How to provide custom impl of ActionContext" http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.struts.devel/25876
"Storing current ActionContext in ThreadLocal" http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.struts.devel/25868
It would be great to get some ideas from people about the right way to allow users to use an alternate implementation of the ActionContext class. I am generally ill-disposed to a factory class since it seems like so often factories also need configuration which makes discovery tedious, but having a factory class which was an Abstract class would also give us a convenient place to plug a static "currentActionContext" method.
If no configuration is necessary, we could simply stipulate "actionContextFactoryClass" as a String Property of ControllerConfig and at least move forward with that. To be honest, for this specific case I'm not thinking of any configuration use cases, so maybe I shouldn't get hung up on it.
(Defining implementation classes and configuring them all in one place is the solution that Spring provides which I think makes so many people get so gung-ho about it.)
I think in writing this I've convinced myself to do it this way. Will give it a little time for responses but I'm likely to try to do this in the next couple of days.
