Yes
The Expresso controller can be called from the command line.
The DBTool program is an example of such a program.
The program's path is com/jcorporate/expresso/core/utility/DBTool.java
Look in the source code for the 'public static void main()' method
starting around line number 1391.
Expresso requires initialisation of the ConfigManager object.
Afterwards you need to initialise the database pool manager
singleton and then the grab a database connection from the pool.
// set up ConfigManager first
ConfigManager.setWebAppDir((String) commandArgs.get("webAppDir"));
ConfigManager.load((String) commandArgs.get("configDir"));
setupLog();
//initialize the db pool
ConfigManager.dbInitialize();
//Load DBOtherMaps
ConfigManager.mapOtherDBs();
...
DBConnectionPool myPool = DBConnectionPool.getInstance(dbName);
if (poolTest != null) {
System.out.println("Database Connection Pool Test Mode");
poolTest();
System.out.println("Connection pool tests completed.");
System.exit(1);
}
...
DBConnection myConnection = myPool.getConnection("DBTool");
...
The point is that you put this generic code inside your Struts Action.
But I would have thought that you allow the ExpressoActionServlet to
do the initialisation of the `ConfigManager' and then all you
have to do in a pure Struts Action is grab database connections
from the pool manager. This would allow you to use DBObjects
with the pure Struts Actions.
This is a theory I have not tested it.
=================== MOVE DISCUSSION OFF LIST =====================
I have CC-MAIL 'ed to you directly, because the discussion like this one,
should take place under expresso mailing list.
I dont wanna swamp other people with mail.

Subject: Re: Advice needed on Stuts versus Struts/Expresso
is it possible to use DBObjects and not use other parts of expresso such as
Jobs, Controllers, etc?
