So now that leave the Action. You can keep doing what you do. But... you can create user commands (a user chain) if you like CoR. (and ... some of us love it, it's KISS and powerfull).
If you do "user chain" or CoR Actions... you could switch to any framework with a lot less pain. (Shale if you like). I also take my use CoR action and run them from command line:
ex:
java -jar run.jar SEND_MAIL
This starts my action to send an email to all the new users.
So ... my same CMD I wrote for WebTier... now has a char input. Or SoA, or RiA, or XML-RPC. So that's good.
Also, it provide a good framework on it's own.
One thing Struts had is that I can look at somone elses struts-config and have an idea how to maintain their code. Commons-chain has that, a map of comands, that I can even configure.
Now ... let me get contraversial, (because I am usualy so shy)
I used to do IoC in place of CoR. In IoC you have diferent signatures ... and they you can configure/inejct.
In CoR .... the singature is allways the same.
So ... what happend last summer is I ended up having like 70 CoR commands built. One of my develops had work (imagine) and... he started pluging in cmds from diferent chains, in his own chain... and built something without code!!
My jaw was on the floor. I asked how he inveted this? He said he assumed that's what I wanted!!!
(I then told everyone to rewrite IoC into CoR - at least no thinking about the signature, and pull it out.... it's gone now - Hivemind)
The point is... that once you have a lot of commands.. you may notice that you can just plug comands in to each other, like Lego.
I think you play some w/ Digester.... this is just another variation on it.
So becuase 1.3 is legacy, you can keep using old action singature, 0 learning.
But... if you want, you can try CoR for your commands. It works in anything, event "old" Struts.
It goes by many names for now, user chain is one name (even for me at least most of the time... it's only one command in the chain. Oh... cmd= = chain ) Over time, we will start calling it one thing.

Wait... I think it was Joe who said that if we had never cared about the Struts RequestProcessor up to now, we could ignore 'chain
