I think one of the biggest advantages of AppFuse is that it allows you to do whatever you like. Once you're created your application, there's really no tie to AppFuse anymore (except that's where the code came from). You're free to modify it to your liking and do whatever you feel appropriate. I think you can add a preProcess method to your classes and they will be called automatically. I'm not sure about this, I just saw this method in ActionServlet.java last night.
I'm a little hesitant about doing too much more on the Struts front because everything that's there now works for me.

Matt,
Have you got any experience with the Avalon framework? What would you
think to building a ServiceManager to provide some of the basic services
for free, instead of providing straight classes for AppFuse?
Ultimately what I'd like to do is get the best parts of Struts and Turbine and make a combined framework...
From Turbine:
* Intake * Security Service * Crypto Service
From Struts:* Plug-in Interface * Ease of Configuration
I also would like to get the action workflow upgraded to PreProcess->Action->PageClass->VM/JSP->HTML/XML. And for pages where there's no action prior PageClass->VM/JSP->HTML/XML etc.
What do you think?
Best regards,
Cameron Gray

AWESOME Cameron! Thanks for writing this up on the wiki - it looks great!
I updated Step 6 with your latest findings and put a link to your blog at the bottom (feel free to remove it if you don't want it there).
