Chains information
I was just curious, reading this mailing list for a long time, and learning
a lot....
I have seen a lot of thingd about commons chain, struts chain, how it will
integrate in struts 1.3 for the RequestProcessor, and then maybe at the
action level.
A part of the apache commons chains home page, where can i get more
information about chains in struts ? (code examples, user or dev guide,
tutorials, etc.....) Or maybe it is to early yet for this kind of thing :-))
Thanks in advance,
Regards,

Joe is correct that you don't have to understand chain to use Struts
1.3. But if you do learn about chains, you will be able to configure
Struts even more to your liking!
I personally lovel chain. Once you see how it works in Struts you
will be able to find uses for it in your own programs. I actually use
it most for business logic (as opposed to request processing.) Chain
is also being used in the Struts-Shale project.
Its one of those nice little tools you can use all over the place.

Have you seen http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/chain/
There's a "cookbook" that might give you some ideas. Beyond that,
I'd suggest browsing the source code for Struts' chain implementation
(especially now that ViewCVS is serving the SVN repository again:
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/struts/core/trunk/src/share/org/apache/struts/chain/
You could also consider simply checking out the code using Subversion:
http://struts.apache.org/acquiring.html#SourceCode
Note that for many users, the chain aspect of Struts 1.3 will be
invisible; just as many users have never needed to override the
default RequestProcessor, many users will not care about the chain.
On the other hand, I believe that once you start getting the idea
behind it, many users will find that they can build much cleaner
applications by taking control of the entire request processing life
cycle, instead of simply writing actions.
If you have further questions, they may be better suited for the
users@struts.apache.org list.
