Do *not* make your methods static. Actions are Singletons and many threads may be running through them at one time so they must be thread safe. This typically means you can't use instance variables to maintain state. If you're interested in creating a new instance of each Action per request (thereby allowing you to use instance variables) you should look at overriding the RequestProcessor.processActionCreate() method.
