[Struts Wiki] Update of "MigrationTools" by DonBrown

[Apache Wiki <wi...@apache.org>]

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Struts Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by DonBrown:
http://wiki.apache.org/struts/MigrationTools

New page:
Struts Action 2.0 migration tools will assist the Action 1.x application in the migration process.  These tools serve two purposes, named #2 and #3 in the MigrationStrategy document.

This page discusses what these two collections of tools might look like.

== Dual Processor, Shared Resources ==
 * An Action 2.0 !TextProvider that retrieves messages from the Action 1.x !MessageResources instance in the servlet context
 * A Validation interceptor that looks up the action in commons-validation objects loaded by an existing Action 1.x application.  The action errors would be translated and stored into a !ValidationAware instance.
 * An Action and/or Interceptor that executes a Commons Chain chain

== Conversion Wizard ==
 * Run an Action 1.x !PlugIn using a wrapper no-op Interceptor that calls the !PlugIn in its init() method
 * A wrapper Action 2.0 Action implementation that executes a Action 1.x Action (points if you can fit the word 'Action' a few more times into that feature :)
 * An Interceptor that loads the !ActionForm for the Action so the Action 2.0 wrapper can pass it to the Action 1.0 Action
 * An Ant task that reads Action 1.x configuration and generates xwork.xml that supports the above features
