-/**
- * <p>
- * This action permits to create or update a contest. The contest could be a studio or a software competition, based on
- * competition type. The action is an update based on the the project id or contest id presence. This class action
- * contains also in the prepare method another action: it permits to write the sub entities of the software and/or
- * studio competition so two http round trips will be provided in this action.
- * </p>
- * <p>
- * Notes, to configure this action properly, we need use parameters intercepor twice. One before calling the prepare
- * interceptor, one after the prepare interceptor, as we need projectId and contestId be ready when calling prepare
- * interceptor. the config is like following:<br>
- * 
- * <pre>
- * &lt;!-- Calls the params interceptor twice, allowing you to
- *        pre-load data for the second time parameters are set --&gt;
- *   &lt;action name=&quot;saveDraftContest&quot;
- *              class=&quot;com.topcoder.service.actions.SaveDraftContestAction&quot;&gt;
- *       &lt;!- this should be different from params by setting projectId and contestId only --&gt;
- *       &lt;interceptor-ref name=&quot;paramsPrepare&quot;/&gt;
- *       &lt;interceptor-ref name=&quot;prepare&quot;/&gt;
- *       &lt;interceptor-ref name=&quot;basicStack&quot;/&gt;
- *       &lt;result name=&quot;success&quot;&gt;good_result.ftl&lt;/result&gt;
- *   &lt;/action&gt;
- * </pre>
- * 
- * </p>
- * <p>
- * <b>Thread Safety</b>: In <b>Struts 2</b> framework, the action is constructed for every request so the thread safety
- * is not required (instead in Struts 1 the thread safety is required because the action instances are reused). This
- * class is mutable and stateful: it's not thread safe.
- * </p>
- * <p>
- * Change note for 1.1 Direct Launch Contest Studio Assembly 1.0: 1. Add some fields for holding parameters for contest

+ * <p>
+ * Notes, to configure this action properly, we need use parameters intercepor twice. One before calling the prepare
+ * interceptor, one after the prepare interceptor, as we need projectId and contestId be ready when calling prepare
+ * interceptor. the config is like following:<br>
+ * 
+ * <pre>
+ * &lt;!-- Calls the params interceptor twice, allowing you to
+ *        pre-load data for the second time parameters are set --&gt;
+ *   &lt;action name=&quot;saveDraftContest&quot;
+ *              class=&quot;com.topcoder.service.actions.SaveDraftContestAction&quot;&gt;
+ *       &lt;!- this should be different from params by setting projectId and contestId only --&gt;
+ *       &lt;interceptor-ref name=&quot;paramsPrepare&quot;/&gt;
+ *       &lt;interceptor-ref name=&quot;prepare&quot;/&gt;
+ *       &lt;interceptor-ref name=&quot;basicStack&quot;/&gt;
+ *       &lt;result name=&quot;success&quot;&gt;good_result.ftl&lt;/result&gt;

+ * </pre>
+ * 
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * <b>Thread Safety</b>: In <b>Struts 2</b> framework, the action is constructed for every request so the thread safety
