[Actionframework-users] parameters to output-variable methods

[Craig L. <cr...@be...>]

is there any way to pass parameters to the methods that output-variable
defined values call?  for eg:

  <output-variable name=3D"objectList" component=3D"objectHandler"
value=3D"getObjectList(Context context)"/>

if not, then i really think there should be.  seems to me that the
Context is (almost) indispensable for most of these calls.  now, i
suppose one could work around this a bit by making sure the component is
marked as 'session', then use the component itself that to hold all of
the other data pieces one might need for a request.  but by not having
any defined interfaces between the main servlet (ActionServlet) and the
component, there is no way to easily setup any 'session' data by passing
it to the constructor or some other init() method.  so, this means that
any shared data would need to come from some static or singleton
mechanism, which limits its flexibility.  make sense?
