[Webwork-devel] WebWork and MessageQueuing

[John C. <car...@ll...>]

So I've been thinking, instead of programming, and I came up with the following
idea:  What if I use my WebWork ActionSupport beans in a message queuing
system?  The views.properties & a dispatcher would direct the messages between
various ActionSupport beans.  This is probably treading on the area of JMS 
and message driven
beans, but I was wondering what the rest of you thought. It seems like it 
could do things like
handle error conditions well, multicast with a comma separated list of 
recipients, and select
between various output queues using views.properties.  How would persistence
be implemented?

I haven't quite stepped over the brink into implementation, so wisdom is 
welcome at this
time.  It sure would be nice to be able to reuse my knowledge of WebWork in 
yet another
domain.  Throwing an exception in a validator to put a message in an errror 
queue just
seems really cool!
