[OS-webwork] Interceptor discussion/decoupling

[Conover, Steve]

Hi everyone,   I've been reading the list archives for a while and am a very happy 1.3 user.  Just wanted to jump in on the recent interceptor/filter thread.   The major reason in my mind of keeping XWork (and dependent functionality) separate from the web, is what for me is the #1 advantage of webwork in the first place - the fact that I can do TDD, with a very high development velocity, i.e. all my unit tests can run without any sort of servlet engine running.   I'm all for not overbuilding or overgeneralizing, however when it comes to stuff that has to do with Action execution, decoupling is a worthy goal with real implications for day-to-day development.   Just my .02   -Steve
