nononono you got me wrong here: FS was referred at using the complexity of XPath to obtain values from the environment. It works, but it might create too many contracts. Talking about input-modules vs. actions, I can't agree more: I *don't* like actions and I try not to use them *ever*! I hate them! expecially the stupid jump-me-if-I-return-null markup which is not self-describing and it's a pain to maintain if you have nested actions. But I totally agree: flow + input-modules make actions useless. Just don't make input-modules too hard to use, ok? -- Stefano Mazzocchi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
