@Deprecated
public abstract class BaseViewAction
extends BaseAction

Super class for all actions in the product concerned only with viewing data (not saving to the database). This class provides useful features for all implemented struts actions, including simplified integration for customizers.

When extending this class, all Actions core to the AES should implement the main method. No core action should implement beforeMain or afterMain. Those methods should be implemented by customizers who wish to modify the action in some way. Customizers should not extend the main method.

When customizers extend a concrete BaseAction class they must use the same ActionForm class for the parent or a subclass of that ActionForm so that the main in the parent does not break.
