Opening an enhancement ticket in order to generate some discussion and possibly
give a volunteer an idea for a project
As part of migrating to Action 2, I thought that it might be a good idea to try
to have Struts configured by a ServletContextListener instead of concentrating
that initialization in the servlet. The main idea would be that this would
steer any compatibility solution towards dispatching requests using a single
mechanism (presumably a future version of WebWork's FilterDispatcher) which
could set up a better framework for sharing and blending than simply leaving a
Struts 1.x ActionServlet in your config until you've factored out all of your
actions.
There would be a lot of tasks to this, but it seems that the first would be
simply factoring the initialization code out of ActionServlet in the Struts 1.x
line so that its basic functionality can be verified in the field.
