The Action class normally has a reference to the ActionServlet that is set by the ActionServlet or RequestProcessor (I forget which) when the object is instantiated. If you are instantiating an Action instance yourself you will want to set it, in case the code in the other action needs to get at the servlet reference (or through it to get the ServletContext reference).
Action myAction = new MyAction(); myAction.setServlet( getServlet() ); myAction.execute(mapping, form, request, response); Hmm. setServlet() is public in 1.1 final release, but Ive noticed in the nightly docs it now seems to be package protected. That could be very bad for a framework extension Im working on. :-( -but its also another good indication that you ought to factor out the common code into a third class rather than trying to re-use the action! ;-) -----Original Message----- From: Ashok.D [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 4 September 2003 22:45 To: Struts Users Mailing List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Can we create a Action class object Hi Andrew Hill, Thanks for your reply.
