Check out Struts Action Plug-in Extension 1.0.2 <http://www.asqdotcom.be/struts/> Is that enough like what you need? Last time I saw it cross this list, it sounded like there was interest in integrating it into the "contrib" area of Struts, but I haven't seen any activity on that. If this isn't what you have in mind, I'd suggest implementing your idea in working code and then inviting other Struts developers to check it out and see what they think. Several pieces of struts came into the core distribution this way (validator, tiles...) This way, your code can get real field testing without disturbing the core distribution (especially as close as it is to a full release!) And even if it never gets integrated into the core, it still works for you, and if you choose to share it, for anyone else who's interested.
