a few considerations:
using convention plugin to create/determine action name
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/convention-plugin.html
1)
Action name overrides using annotations as in the example @Action("FOO-BAR")
"FOO-BAR" is action name
2)
struts.convention.action.name.lowercase=false "foo-bar" is action name
action locational characteristics:
By default, the Convention plugin will find all action classes
-that implement com.opensymphony.xwork2.Action or
-whose name ends with the word Action in specific packages.
so these Action classes will be 'found'
com.example.actions.MainAction
com.example.actions.products.Display (implements com.opensymphony.xwork2.Action)
com.example.struts.company.details.ShowCompanyDetailsActionso we now know how
the action name is created and found
SPRING:
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/spring-plugin.html
first we need to define StrutsSpringObjectFactory via Struts.properties
struts.objectFactory = org.apache.struts2.spring.StrutsSpringObjectFactory
struts.xml
<struts>
<constant name="struts.objectFactory"
value="org.apache.struts2.spring.StrutsSpringObjectFactory" />
</struts>
//you configured your action-name as defined above with annotation and /or
lowercase
struts.objectFactory.spring.autoWire = name
//you can use Spring to auto-create actions or beans
if you are using context in your xml for params you will need the
ContextLoaderListener defined in web.xml e.g.
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
//application-context.xml contains the name and the class for the 'wired' bean
as defined here
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD
BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd";>
<beans default-autowire="autodetect">
<bean id="personManager" class="com.acme.PersonManager"/>
</beans>
//be aware that name assignment will be 'personManager'
//USING context other then applicationContext you can specify so here
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext-*.xml,classpath*:applicationContext-*.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<!-- struts.xml association of Action objects to Spring (personManager)
configuration -->
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN"
"http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd";>
<struts>
<include file="struts-default.xml"/>
<package name="secure" namespace="/secure" extends="default">
<action name="PersonNameAction" class="personManager">
<result>bar.ftl</result>
</action>
</package>
</struts><!-- class is defined as PersonManager (NOTE personManager was
assigned by the spring configuration) -->
<!-- if you prefer thread safe implementations you can configure your bean to
specify singleton false -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN"
"http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd";>
<beans default-autowire="autodetect">
<bean id="bar" class="com.my.BarClass" singleton="false"/>
</beans>
additional considerations
struts.objectFactory.spring.autoWire.alwaysRespect=true
(currently alwaysRespect false has a bug assigned)
//choosing autowire type is a safe choice as Action name might be changed
modified by convention-plugin mods
struts.objectFactory.spring.autoWire=type
I hope this makes the topic clearer to you
