Don Brown picks up Struts Control Flow.

Comments[3] by Dave in Java

I've got too many other things going on right now to resume my work on Control Flow, so I'm happy to report that Don Brown has picked up where I left off and has integrated Cocoon's Control Flow module into a Struts application.

Don implemented the same number guess example that I did, but with Struts, by replacing my Flow Servlet with a Flow Action. This is a different approach than I was considering. I was under the impression that the only way to enable Control Flow to take advantage of Struts Form Bean processing and Validation was to integrate Control Flow at the ActionServlet level. On second thought, I think the Flow Action approach will work fine, but it will require that Actions that are to participate in the flow extend the Flow Action Flow Servlet. I'm looking forward to seeing Don's code.
