Hello Andrew,
May be another way is solution of your problem... Now I work under
extension of struts to support so named 'bean-factories'. Idea is to
create pluggable framework to support mechanism of data bean
generation (for example, retrieved from database) based on
declarations in struts-config.xml.
There are some terms in my concept -
bean-factory - java class intended to create beans
bean-template - bean description (type, name, parameters needed to
create such bean)
bean-registration - additional tag inside action mapping - creates
link between bean-template and bean-factory
BeanFactoryServlet extends ActionServlet and uses information from
struts-config.xml to create beans from bean-registraions list in
action and store this beans in request of session scope. All this
beans avaiable to jsp-page to show this beans. Every action can hold
list of bean-registrations and every of such registrations can use
anyone factory and anyone bean-template.
I publish first version with sample web-application some days ago -
you can download it and review for your needs.
