Controller Chaining

I can see that there has already been some discussion as how to
implement this and it seems to appear from time to time on the mailing
list.  I did notice that there was a problem found "in the current
chaining mechanism" with opensymphony - I am not familiar with that,
could someone elaborate?  Is there still interest for this as a feature?
How are people that would use it getting around it now?  Is there
someplace that I could read what the "current" spec for this is?

 

OK, now for the introduction, I use Maverick.NET and developed
Opt-NVelocity for it.  While I am not actually interested (today) in
using the java version, I think I recall a desire to keep the 2 projects
somewhat in sync.  I am interested in controller chaining as I am
unhappy with my current solution of extending a base controller for each
possible chained controller.  This does work and works pretty well most
of the time, until you are limited by single inheritance.  I am in the
middle of a large project that I think chaining could be a big help in
and I figure that I can spend time working around what I think I want
and actually implementing what I want.

 

Anyway, sorry to bother the Java list, but wanted to get the opinion
here first.  Any enlightenment would be appreciated.
