The ActionContext class gives simplified, thread-safe access to the request and response, as well as form parameters, request attributes, session attributes, application attributes. Much of this can be accopmplished without using the Struts or even the Servlet API, therefore isolating your application from presentation framework details.
This class also provides facilities for simpler message and error message handling. Although not as powerful as that provided by Struts, it is great for simple applications that don't require internationalization or the flexibility of resource bundles.
Note: A more complete error and message handling API will be implemented. Date: Mar 9, 2004 9:57:39 PM
