Looks interesting, when you are ready to donate this, I'd be happy
to commit it for you. Is the source available now?

Considering Ted's initiative to create more different implementations
of venerable MailReader and his invitation of non-committeres to
participate, I converted MailReader from standard Struts using Struts
Dialogs.
Here it is: http://www.superinterface.com/mailreader
The tour doc file still needs updates and fixes, but the app itself
works. The structure of MailReader was slightly changed since I didn't
see the point to display and update user info on the same page where
subscription list is displayed.
There are four web resources (or actions, or components, whatever you
call them): Home, Login, Subscriptions and Registration. Each
component displays pages appropriate to this component and to
application state, and handles input from a user. Beloved by many pre-
and post- actions are combined now into dispatch-like two-phase
actions that do both.
Logon action is basically the same as sample Login component from
Struts Dialogs. Registration and Subscriptions actions are mosty
standard CRUDAction actions.
Subscriptions action is interesting in that it handles both list and
individual items just like "CRUDAction (all-in-one web island)" sample
from this page: http://www.superinterface.com/strutsdialog/index.htm
What to check out:
------------------
* Refresh works without resubmit [of course :-) ]
* Action name in the address bar always corresponds to the page you
see
* You can jump to any url you like, it will show relevant page
appropriate in that applicaiton state
* Open app in a new window, change language. If you use MSIE or
Firefox, you will not get a new page, that is, Back button will not be
enabled.
* Log in using "user"/"pass" credentials. You will get to welcome/main
page with different content. Now click Back button: instead of login
screen you will see current user info. Why? Because pages reflect
current application state.
* Subscription list uses bits of DisplayTag CSS, and sports
pageable item list.
Play around, application is not 100% free of bugs yet, but pretty
solid.
Source code, JAR and javadocs are to be updated.
