/**
* Proxy for a Spring-managed Struts {@code Action} that is defined in
* {@link ContextLoaderPlugIn ContextLoaderPlugIn's}
* {@link WebApplicationContext}.
*
* The proxy is defined in the Struts config file, specifying this
* class as the action class. This class will delegate to a Struts
* {@code Action} bean in the {@code ContextLoaderPlugIn} context.
*
*
<action path="/login" type="org.springframework.web.struts.DelegatingActionProxy"/>
*
* The name of the {@code Action} bean in the
* {@code WebApplicationContext} will be determined from the mapping
* path and module prefix. This can be customized by overriding the
* {@code determineActionBeanName} method.
*
* Example:
*
* - mapping path "/login" -> bean name "/login"
* - mapping path "/login", module prefix "/mymodule" ->
* bean name "/mymodule/login"
*
*
* A corresponding bean definition in the {@code ContextLoaderPlugin}
* context would look as follows; notice that the {@code Action} is now
* able to leverage fully Spring's configuration facilities:
*
*
* <bean name="/login" class="myapp.MyAction">
* <property name="...">...</property>
* </bean>
*
* Note that you can use a single {@code ContextLoaderPlugIn} for all
* Struts modules. That context can in turn be loaded from multiple XML files,
* for example split according to Struts modules. Alternatively, define one
* {@code ContextLoaderPlugIn} per Struts module, specifying appropriate
* "contextConfigLocation" parameters. In both cases, the Spring bean name
* has to include the module prefix.
*
* If you want to avoid having to specify {@code DelegatingActionProxy}
* as the {@code Action} type in your struts-config file (for example to
* be able to generate your Struts config file with XDoclet) consider using the
* {@link DelegatingRequestProcessor DelegatingRequestProcessor}.
* The latter's disadvantage is that it might conflict with the need
* for a different {@code RequestProcessor} subclass.
*
*
The default implementation delegates to the {@link DelegatingActionUtils}
* class as much as possible, to reuse as much code as possible with
* {@code DelegatingRequestProcessor} and
* {@link DelegatingTilesRequestProcessor}.
*
*
Note: The idea of delegating to Spring-managed Struts Actions originated in
* Don Brown's Spring Struts Plugin.
* {@code ContextLoaderPlugIn} and {@code DelegatingActionProxy}
* constitute a clean-room implementation of the same idea, essentially
* superseding the original plugin. Many thanks to Don Brown and Matt Raible
* for the original work and for the agreement to reimplement the idea in
* Spring proper!
