I have a current and clean XWork build at r1221, but I'm showing a
build failure on the CodeBehind plugin.

Is it suppose to NullResult, or something like that?

Inspired from a conversation Ted and I had at the last ApacheCon, I've
finally got around to creating the Codebehind plugin. The Codebehind
plugin brings elements of the "Page Controller" design to Struts 2 for
the purposes of reducing the amount of mundane configuration through
conventions. There are two common situations for configuration that
could be improved:
1. *Pages with no Action* - These are cases where the page is mostly
static and doesn't require an Action class to execute logic.
Common examples are index pages and those that heavily use JSP
tags or JSF components.
2. *Default results* - The purpose of most Actions is to execute code
to prepare the data for a specific page. The name of this page is
usually the same as the Action itself.
To improve the first case, the Codebehind plugin will detect the
presence of a page with no corresponding Struts Action and automatically
substitute the ActionSupport class, which is basically a NO-OP Action.
For the problem of default results, the Codebehind plugin will make it
unnecessary to define those results by detecting the presense of a page
for that Action and creating the appropriate configuration on-the-fly.
In these ways, the Codebehind plugin allows you to follow a page-based
development style, handing the linking of Struts Actions and pages or
Results in a common way.
For more information, see:
http://cwiki.apache.org/WW/codebehind-plugin.html
As usual, you can also see the plugin in action in the Showcase
application. I combined it with the Zero Configuration demo (person
manager) to show how little configuration can be necessary.
