petstore BeanAction

[Mark Bennett <ma...@gmail.com>]

My friend noticed this comment in the BeanAction class in the petstore 
application. Have any new lessons been learned about this regarding its use? 
Anything to worry about? ThreadLocal issues?

No way, BeanAction is awesome. It *IS* plain old struts, with a good design 
pattern placed in front of it.

There's no concern about ThreadLocal. It's the fastest way to manage 
concurrent state. 

For the most part that comment is there because it's certainly not 
"production code", but it's as good as anything anyone would write I 
suppose.

Just my $0.02

I think the next version of the Pet Store will NOT be using this.  I  
would shy away from it as it is not generally consider a best  
practice.  I would stick to plain old struts.  You might look into  
IoC (Spring).

I could be wrong so team please respond.
