There will be an ActionContext during the execution, yes, but when the #foo.blah method is called there will be no ActionContext, right? So if I would for example call the #foo.locale method (the getLocale method in BaseActionSupport) that method will try to access the ActionContext but it will not find the ActionContext that was used during the execution of the action. Imagine if I have a method that tries to use the ActionContext to do something with session data. Nothing will work as expected. I cannot seem to find the testSimple class so if I have misunderstood something, please correct me. The problem also exists in WW1 but there one can work around it by letting the action tag span the page, as I described before. I see no similar work-around now in WW2 which is the reason for me asking these questions.
