It would also close a few open tickets (which I am still meandering through). Unless there are any objections, I'd like to join the struts-chain effort, and hope to put in some time this weekend. I've been experimenting with ways to develop struts forms/actions that can simultaneously be exposed as SOAP web services in stxx (http://stxx.sf.net), but feel the struts-chain is key to building a robust implementation.

Sounds good to me. Welcome. Regarding wildcards (http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21813), I decided to hold of on putting them as it seemed a 1.1.1(2?) was around the corner.

Now that you're a committer, of course, you don't have to wait for me to get around to it :-). Finally, regarding web services, anyone know of any efforts to expose Struts forms/actions as web services? It would be interesting to explore the controller role of Struts as a way to adapt multiple input formats (HTML forms, XForms uploads, web service requests, XML-RPC, ...) to multiple back ends (EJBs, POJO-based services, web services, Struts Actions, ...). I agree with you that commons-chain could serve as an interesting basis for this kind of thing.

I'm not suggesting this type of functionality be in Struts core, as I agree with you Struts is focused on controlling the user interface. However, I can imagine the following situation: using struts-chain, define an action that takes parameters, uses the context to determine authorization, checks for a web context to perform servlet-specific things, pulls data from the business facade and sticks it in the request. I would want to expose that both to Struts and as a web service without any extra code, save perhaps an Axis WSDD. While of course it isn't too hard to write an interface layer to expose business objects/facades via web services, since Actions are already only a few lines, I'd rather not write a whole other set of classes. And of course, I'd like to take the same actions and expose them to portlet code. struts-chain does a great job of remaining agnostic of implementation and let you mix and match just about anything.
