Struts & Velocity
Hi all,
Im just trying to get my head around this. Struts is meant to work with
actions. You create the mappings of the actions in the struts-config.xml and
define things like action handlers, forwards, etc.
Suppose I use Velocity to render the view.
Is there a standar place in struts or anywhere else that I can populate the
velocity context? (Doing it through request.put() of course)
My problem comes when I need to change the Locale for a page which fires up a
LocaleAction class which then renders the page Ive specified *but* without
the velocity context being populated since all the logic to populate the
context is defined in a different class.
In Turbine for example there is method which gets called and serves for
populating the context.
Thanks for your input.

Thanks Joe,
Im aware of the list so I will post there, I just thought it was more of a
Struts related thing :)
Sorry for that.

Have you checked out http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/tools/struts/
The community of Struts/Velocity users is quite healthy. I'm not
actually one of them, but I bet you'll find that they've got you
covered if you check out that URL.
