This can be done when you run both struts action and faces servlet controllers.
You will need to give the faces servlet a prefix url mapping and the action
servlet
a suffix mapping.
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
All your struts action requests need to be dispatched through the faces servlet
so that the all all knowing FacesContext is created.
Then in your struts action, you can use the FacesContext the same way you
would in a managed bean action callback.
public ActionForward doLoad(
IRusttsActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
ActionMessages messages)
throws Exception {
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ActionForm formBean = (ActionForm)
facesContext.getApplication().getVariableResolver()
.resolveVariable(facesContext, "AboutDynaForm");
// -- or --
ValueBinding vb = facesContext.getApplication()
.createValueBinding("#{AboutDynaForm}");
formBean = (ActionForm) vb.getValue(facesContext);
