Dave, This is all symantics I guess, but I dont mind a good "discussion" :)
To me with the way the relationship is between the 2 objects, ActionContext is not a PART of the Interceptor, it is something the Interceptor uses. So for me it should be neither final or even a member variable. Just a referance within the scope of the executed method. It creates an unatural relationship that could potential complicate the frameworks control of the ActionContext.

Making local parameters that will not change 'final' is a reasonably typical coding practice and may help prevent stupid PEBKAC problems. I don't think making a local variable 'final' will confuse anybody. d. ____________________________________________________________________________________ We won't tell.
