/**
 * Convenience class for Spring-aware Struts 1.1+ Actions.
 *
 * <p>Provides a reference to the current Spring application context, e.g.
 * for bean lookup or resource loading. Auto-detects a ContextLoaderPlugIn
 * context, falling back to the root WebApplicationContext. For typical
 * usage, i.e. accessing middle tier beans, use a root WebApplicationContext.
 *
 * <p>For Struts DispatchActions or Lookup/MappingDispatchActions, use the
 * analogous {@link DispatchActionSupport DispatchActionSupport} or
 * {@link LookupDispatchActionSupport LookupDispatchActionSupport} /
 * {@link MappingDispatchActionSupport MappingDispatchActionSupport} class,
 * respectively.
 *
 * <p>As an alternative approach, you can wire your Struts Actions themselves
 * as Spring beans, passing references to them via IoC rather than looking
 * up references in a programmatic fashion. Check out
 * {@link DelegatingActionProxy DelegatingActionProxy} and
 * {@link DelegatingRequestProcessor DelegatingRequestProcessor}.
