Dispatch action and base action
Hi
I have an app where I define my own base action class. I declare it
abstract and have it implement a few convenience methods that all my other
actions might/will use(as recommended in a few books and web pages). But,
there are cases where I want to create an action that uses Dispatch action
feature. So my class has to extends dispatch action class. But I still want
to have my base action class "convenience methods" available. And I don't
want to have my base extend dispatch action. that's just hideous. So after
all my bitching, are there any approaches/best practices that deals with
this??
thx,
-Henrik Bentel

What I did (nasty workaround) was to create my own base dispatch action
which was basically a cut and paste of the struts dispatch action, but that
extended my own base action class.
Quick and easy (& dirty) and works nicely but the big downside to this is
that if you update your struts version you will need to 'redo' this class to
get the latest dispatchAction code...
