Class StrutsUtils

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.velocity.tools.struts.StrutsUtils

public class StrutsUtils
extends java.lang.Object

A utility class to expose the Struts shared resources. All methods are static.

This class is provided for use by Velocity view tools that need access to Struts resources. By having all Struts- specific code in this utility class, maintenance is simplified and reuse fostered.

It is the aim, that sooner or later the functionality in this class is integrated into Struts itself. See Bug #16814 for more on that.
