In this tutorial you will learn about the Struts 2 ActionContext and its application with practical example.
Struts 2 ActionContext
The ActionContext is the context in which an Action is executed. This is a container of objects an action needs for execution like session, parameters, locale, etc.
The value stored in ActionContext are unique per thread so the ActionContext is thread local. ActionContext class is child of an Object class and implements Serializable interface.
Syntax:-

public class ActionContext extends Object implements Serializable |
By the calling of getContext() method of ActionContext class we can get reference of ActionContext.
