/**
* Proxy for a Spring-managed Struts Action that's defined in
* ContextLoaderPlugIn's WebApplicationContext.
*
* The proxy is defined in the Struts config file, specifying this
* class as action class. It will delegate to a Struts Action bean
* in the ContextLoaderPlugIn context.
*
*
* <action path="/login" type="org.springframework.web.struts.DelegatingActionProxy"/>
*
* The name of the Action bean in the WebApplicationContext will be
* determined from the mapping path and module prefix. This can be
* customized by overriding the 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 ContextLoaderPlugin
* context looks as follows, being able to fully leverage
* Spring's configuration facilities:
*
*
* <bean name="/login" class="myapp.MyAction">
* <property name="...">...</property>
* </bean>
*
* Note that you can use a single 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 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 DelegatingActionProxy as Action
* type in your struts-config, for example to be able to generate your
* Struts config file with XDoclet, consider
* {@link DelegatingRequestProcessor DelegatingRequestProcessor}.
* The latter's disadvantage is that it might conflict with the need
* for a different RequestProcessor subclass.
*
*
The default implementation delegates to the DelegatingActionUtils
* class as fas as possible, to reuse as much code as possible with
* DelegatingRequestProcessor and DelegatingTilesRequestProcessor.
*
*
Note: The idea of delegating to Spring-managed Struts Actions originated in
* Don Brown's Spring Struts Plugin.
* ContextLoaderPlugIn and 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!
