- All Known Implementing Classes:
    DefaultActionProxyFactory, PrefixBasedActionProxyFactory, StrutsActionProxyFactory

      public interface ActionProxyFactory

    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `ActionProxy` | `createActionProxy(ActionInvocation actionInvocation, String namespace, String actionName, String methodName, boolean executeResult, boolean cleanupContext)` Creates an `ActionProxy` for the given namespace and action name by looking up the configuration.The ActionProxy should be fully initialized when it is returned, including passed `ActionInvocation` instance.
    `ActionProxy` | `createActionProxy(String namespace, String actionName, String methodName, Map<String,Object> extraContext)` Creates an `ActionProxy` for the given namespace and action name by looking up the configuration.The ActionProxy should be fully initialized when it is returned, including having an `ActionInvocation` instance associated.

                                        Map<String,Object> extraContext)

      Creates an `ActionProxy` for the given namespace and action name by looking up the configuration.The ActionProxy should be fully initialized when it is returned, including having an `ActionInvocation` instance associated.

      Note: This is the most used create method.

      Parameters:
        `namespace` - the namespace of the action, can be `null`
        `actionName` - the name of the action
        `methodName` - the name of the method to execute
        `extraContext` - a Map of extra parameters to be provided to the ActionProxy, can be `null`
      Returns:
        ActionProxy the created action proxy
      Since:
        2.1.1

    - #### createActionProxy

                                        boolean cleanupContext)

      Creates an `ActionProxy` for the given namespace and action name by looking up the configuration.The ActionProxy should be fully initialized when it is returned, including having an `ActionInvocation` instance associated.

        `namespace` - the namespace of the action, can be `null`
        `actionName` - the name of the action
        `methodName` - the name of the method to execute
        `extraContext` - a Map of extra parameters to be provided to the ActionProxy, can be `null`
        `executeResult` - flag which tells whether the result should be executed after the action
        `cleanupContext` - flag which tells whether the original context should be preserved during execution of the proxy.
      Returns:
        ActionProxy the created action proxy
      Since:
        2.1.1

    - #### createActionProxy
