Subject: [OS-webwork] Action Tag

I notice the action tag and lazyvalue stuff have landed in cvs and it
follows
the 1.3 pattern which I think could be confusing at times. For e.g, it 
is
not
deterministic when the action will actually be executed and you have to 
be
carefull when using the param tag with it. Exception from the actual
execution
of action are being hidden as well.

For instance

<webwork:action name="abc.action">
<webwork:param name="startRow" value="result.current"/>
jsp content
</webwork:action>
will not work and this could be confusing for newbie. Also, if the 
action
is
not being reference in the jsp content, executing it at the
</webwork:action>
stage is rather pointless.

May be we should just add a nested execute tag to make this simpler and 
we
can
get rid of all the lazyvalue stuff from action proxy too ( I feel it is 
an
awkward and unnecessary solution ).

for e.g, the example above can be rewritten as

<webwork:action name="abc.action">
<webwork:param name="startRow" value="result.current"/>
<webwork:execute>
jsp content
</webwork:execute>
</webwork:action>
OR

<webwork:action name="abc.action" id="myaction">
<webwork:param name="startRow" value="result.current"/>
</webwork:action>
<webwork:execute name="myaction">
jsp content
</webwork:execute>
