Package com.softslate.commerce.customer.core Description

Provides basic interfaces, classes and utilities used by all the other packages in the Struts layer.

BaseForm and BaseDynaForm extend the Struts ActionForm and DynaActionForm respectively. They provide seven properties common to all of the Web requests the application receives, to help the application's action classes communicate with the rest of the application.

ActionUtils and FormUtils provide useful static methods that assist with processing actions and validatidating forms, respectively.

ConfigPlugIn is a Struts PlugIn that initializes singleton objects in the servlet's application scope, for use throughout the system.

LayoutAction is a Tiles controller that is run just before the response is returned to the user. It's two main functions are to set the HTML title for the page being displayed, and to update the paths of the Tiles attributes if a custom layout is being displayed.

Finally, BaseRequestProcessor is the application's extension of the Struts RequestProcessor. It does a variety of initializations and other processing at the beginning of every request. In addition it overrides Strut's default exception handling to assist with logging and debugging.
