[Actionframework-users] Default items into the Context

[David W. <da...@su...>]

At present $SERVLET and $URL are placed in the context

I need some others (Action is the first I need and yes I know I can add 
in my servlet beforeInvoke or handle methods) but it has made me think 
the following

We may want to add extra standard items to the context in future 
releases, but this risks namespace problems. So instead why don't we put 
an ActionFrameworkStandardContext object into the context. At the moment 
this would give us to use in our templates

$ActionFramework.Servlet
$ActionFramework.Url
$ActionFramework.Action
$ActionFramework.Version

But I can see lots of other good stuff that could go in here, some of it 
depending on the debug level of ActionFramework so that if debugging it 
makes extra diagnostics available, giving us a similar feature to 
phpinfo() which is great when installing/diagnosing php.

I don't mind if we use ActionServlet, ActionFramework, AS or AF as the 
name in the context.

What do you think?

Dave
