Re: [Q] ActionServlet Forwarding

[KenHoying]

We extend ActionServlet to handle initiation or resources.  Because it is
always called first (process method), it also seems like a good place to
handle logging onto the external resources we need.  I noticed that
ActionServlet has some "finder" methods to get the ActionForward and other
resources.  Just not sure how to pull it all together.

Ken,

Are you subclassing ActionServlet solely to perform this conditional
forwarding?  If so I would recommend putting this logic into an Action
subclass called something like ActionBase (instead of putting it in
ActionServlet) and making your actions subclasses of your custom
ActionBase class.  I don't think ActionServlet was really meant to be
subclassed.
