Interface ActionProxy

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultActionProxy, MockActionProxy

public interface ActionProxy

ActionProxy is an extra layer between XWork and the action so that different proxies are possible.

An example of this would be a remote proxy, where the layer between XWork and the action might be RMI or SOAP.
