using an actionsupport class for spring

[Mike Ottinger]

Hi Guys,

Sorry this is half Spring, half Struts, I hope this is a good spot. I've created a base action class that extends ActionSupport. Through this class the dataSource for my application is injected via Spring. The action classes used throughout my application extend this class, therefore gaining access to the dataSource. A question I have is each action class invoked for the first time will cause onInit() in the super class to be invoked, therefore five separate action classes are invoked, onInit() is invoked five times. I know Spring injects beans on a singleton basis, but this unnecessary calling on onInit(), is that a problem? Does anyone have a suggestion on getting a commonly used object such as a dataSource injected cleanly into a struts app? Thanks in advance...

There does not seem to be many people on this forum that are using Spring and Struts together. Your question seems to be more Spring related, so I would try a Spring related forum.

I agree, unfortunately I'm not able to move this myself and I hate to cross-post. Could one of the administrators move it?

- thanks.

I'm going to move this to the Application Frameworks forum.
