Anders,
I have to say that this is a _bad_ idea.
You can already test actions to setup xwork.xml - just instantiate the
object, call your setter methods and run!
People doing J2EE understand XML, they have to. All descriptors are XML.
Xwork.xml is not _that_ complex for a hello world example, most of the
elements are optional.
However, there _is_ a problem with WW2 at the moment that if a view is not
found, no debug page is shown. I think it should be ("action returned
"input" but not "input" view found).
