Ok, having read this thread, I'm trying to figure out what the intended use of the Action tag is. I've personally never used it, so perhaps a discussion of the need / usage of it would make the right thing to do more clear. I understand that the non-deterministic execution of Actions is a real problem, so a good lifecycle model should be one requirement. What are the others?
I'd rather take a little time and try to do this right than put in a quick fix. The execute tag just seems a little hacky to me, and it's one more tag, which has non-trivial requirements of the JSP developer (i.e. bind an Action to an id above). It also seems too much like regular JSP, which I detest, IMHO.
