With any luck we will find more that are looking for this same capability and we can join forces and save double effort. Perhaps a SourceForge Project if we can't get a Jakarta project for it just yet.

Mark -----Original Message----- From: Mike Oliver [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 10:46 AM I would like to propose that Struts be extended to support another entry point. The ActionServlet would be augmented by an Axis/SOAP Web Services Interface to Struts. FormBeans would be part of the payload for requests. Responses would be generated by Forwards for SOAP. This new Axis entry point would do the same work as ActionServlet with the only significant difference being the construction of the FormBean. Incoming SOAP Requests would be configured to call the same RequestHandlers and as far as the actions go they won't know that the source was an HTML Form or a serialized FormBean. I feel this will give a great deal of flexibility to Applications where they want a Web Browser User Interface as well as Web Services for the same Application Data Model and Business Logic. I am planning on doing this anyway, and felt it applicable to this group and would offer to share it as a sub project and would welcome contributions of thought, expertise and code. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
