/**
* Support classes for integrating a Struts web tier with a Spring middle
* tier which is typically hosted in a Spring root WebApplicationContext.
*
* <p>Supports easy access to the Spring root WebApplicationContext
* from Struts Actions via the ActionSupport and DispatchActionSupport
* classes. Actions have full access to Spring's WebApplicationContext
* facilities in this case, and explicitly look up Spring-managed beans.
*
* <p>Also supports wiring Struts Actions as Spring-managed beans in
* a ContextLoaderPlugIn context, passing middle tier references to them
* via bean references, using the Action path as bean name. There are two
* ways to make Struts delegate Action lookup to the ContextLoaderPlugIn:
*
* <ul>
* <li>Use DelegationActionProxy as Action "type" in struts-config.
* There's no further setup necessary; you can choose any RequestProcessor.
* Each such proxy will automatically delegate to the corresponding
* Spring-managed Action bean in the ContextLoaderPlugIn context.
*
* <li>Configure DelegatingRequestProcessor as "processorClass" in
* struts-config, using the original Action "type" (possibly generated
* by XDoclet) or no "type" at all. To also use Tiles, configure
* DelegatingTilesRequestProcessor instead.
* </ul>
