DelegatingActionProxy

What is the advantage of using DelegatingActionProxy and injecting action using a xml file...

I am having a project that usese following way to invoke action :

----Code snipet in struts-config.xml----

<action
path="/doLogin"
type="org.springframework.web.struts.DelegatingAct ionProxy"
name="logonForm"
scope="request"
validate="false">
<forward name="success" path="home"/>
</action>
-------------------------------------

----Code snipet in struts-applicationContext.xml----

<bean name="/doLogin"
class="com.sqa.struts.action.LoginAction"singleton ="false">
</bean>

------------------------------------

That way you Struts action are beans managed by Spring and you can inject stuff into them. If you don't you would have to pull everything from the context yourself instead of relying on Spring.

Of course letting spring manaing your beans also allows the use of AOP etc.

There is a chapter in the reference guide covering this.
