You can also add RequestProcessor as controllers. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Struts Users Mailing List Cc: Struts Users Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2005 1:40 PM Subject: Re: Actions forwarding to actions
Not always. An Action should be created to perform a specific control instance. For Example, if you are going to insert a record, the Action class has all the required code to insert the record. However, as you get into more complex systems, you will often find that you are duplicating a lot of the same functions. At this point you have to abstract many of these functions into utility or helper classes to reduce the amount of duplication that you have. This reduces your action class down to simply flow control logic. But if this becomes highly repetitive, then you may breakout into calling multiple actions that know how to handle a specific set of events.

There actions which forward to other actions and I'm getting lost a bit lost at times. As a rule, should an action be all encompassing and therefore not need to forward to another action? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
