In a lot of locations there is mention that actions should not have business logic in them.
By chaining you are sometimes calling an action to invoke the business methods that it contains. This is frowned upon as not a best practice. Action chaining is useful sometimes and there is no question about that. It is useful to call some presentation logic by chaining to an action that will return to the originally called action. It is difficult to grasp, but if the business delegate does not contain any httpservletRequest etc stuff in it, then this is a better approach. There are more layers. sandeep --- Siva <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks Alen, > > Ted Husted (Struts in Action) says that the action > chaining in the dark side > of Struts. > > The problem he mentioned is that > > "when the second action is being invoked, the form > is being 'repopulated' > with the initial form values that the form had when > it was passed to the > first action " > > Since I am new to struts, I am not able to grasp it > clearly.
