/**
 *  This Action uses scripts to perform its action. The scripting framework is
 *  Apache's Bean Scripting Framework which allows the scripts to be written
 *  many of the popular scripting languages including JavaScript, Perl, Python,
 *  and even VBA. <br />
 *  <br />
 *  To determine what script will be executed, the "parameter" attribute of the
 *  action mapping should contain the name of the script relative to the web
 *  application root directory (i.e. http://server/app). <br />
 *  <br />
 *  Before the script completes, the next ActionForward needs to be specified.
 *  This can be done one of two ways:
 *  <ol>
 *    <li> Set <code>struts.forwardName</code> to the name of the forward</li>
 *
 *    <li> Set <code>struts.forward</code> to the actual ActionForward object
 *    </li>
 *  </ol>
 *  A number of pre-defined variables are available to the script:
 *  <ul>
 *    <li> <code>request</code> - The HTTP request</li>
 *    <li> <code>response</code> - The HTTP response</li>
 *    <li> <code>session</code> - The session</li>
 *    <li> <code>application</code> - The servlet context</li>
 *    <li> <code>struts</code> - A grouping of all Struts-related objects</li>
 *
 *    <li> <code>log</code> - A logging instance</li>
 *  </ul>
 *  You can add your own variables by creating a BSFManagerFilter and
 *  configuring it in struts-scripting.properties:
 *  <ul>
 *    <li> <code>struts-scripting.filters.FILTER_NAME.class=FILTER_CLASS</code>
 *    - The class implementing BSFManagerFilter where FILTER_NAME is the name
 *    you are calling the filter.</li>
 *    <li> <code>
 *     struts-scripting.filters.FILTER_NAME.PROPERTY_NAME=PROPERTY_VALUE
 *      </code> - A property to be used by the filter.</li>
 *  </ul>
 *  <br />
 *  <br />
 *  To use other scripting engines other than BeanShell, create a file called
 *  <code>struts-scripting.properties</code> and add two properties for each
 *  engine:
 *  <ul>
 *    <li> <code>struts-scripting.engine.ENGINE_NAME.class</code> - The class of
 *    the BSF engine where ENGINE_NAME is the name you are calling the engine.
 *    </li>
 *    <li> <code>struts-scripting.engine.ENGINE_NAME.extensions</code> - A
 *    comma-delimited list of file extensions that will be used to identify the
 *    engine to use to execute the script.</li>
 *  </ul>
 *  This code was originally based off code from JPublish, but has since been
 *  almost completely rewritten.
