>             Project: Struts 1
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Core

> Per the discussion RE Velocity Tools for Struts and the duplication of code in
> RequestUtils for alternative presentation systems, I am proposing the following
> enhancement to the struts code base, which will allow the internal configuration
> information of Struts to be exposed while minimizing the dependencies that have
> to be written into presentation systems like Velocity Tools for Struts.
> There was a suggestion (by T. Husted) that RequestUtils is really aimed at the
> JSP layer, and after reviewing that interface, I agree that it is not the best
> place to put this feature. I would suggest o.a.s.util.ViewUtils or something
> similar. This RequestUtils class will end up needing some minor enhancement,
> such as adding another overloaded entry into computeURL() that doesn't require a
> PageContext.
> I plan to do an in-depth analysis of the tag libraries and general configuration
> systems of struts to come up with a general interface for ViewUtils, which I
> will add to this entry as soon as I'm done.
> Any suggestions as to what should be in this interface are more than welcome.
