Action chaining configuration file

[Eliot Sykes <el...@Rightmove.co.uk>]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone else has felt the need to chain actions together,
and if so, what approaches have you taken?  Can anyone foresee any problems
with or does anybody have a different solution to extending Turbine Servlet
to use an external properties file for specifying the action chains?

Thanks in advance for any ideas,

Eliot

Hi Eliot,

I have never had the need to chain action modules and (depending on 
your requirements of course) I think there are better ways to design an 
application.

You can have a BaseAction class and put your methods in it and then 
have other actions extend it to get the functionality they need.

A better approach, IMHO, is to place all your database access logic 
within the methods of a service, so that you can call these methods 
from any action within the system.

It would be good if you could explain your requirements in more detail.

Regards,
