Now, then: This whole thread started as a different question and was motivated by an earlier question. Assuming that we continue to use Digester to instantiate and populate ActionConfig objects, I would like to add a "generic" mapped property to ActionConfig so that rather than writing trivial and boring subclasses of ActionConfig, one can simply set properties on it. I'd make it a Properties because I'd expect it to have strings, but I would accept arguments to make it a map instead with the idea that later other Objects might get in there. (Ugh, but all that casting!) Assuming no one objects in the next day or two, I'll assume it's ok, and I'll call it "props", just because I would rather not screw around waiting for another name.

The motivation for this was a perceived flaw in the ChainAction and chain DispatchAction classes which won't know in which catalog to look for the command either one is supposed to execute. A generic property map would allow the ChainAction to define the name of the properties it wants for its configuration, rather than requiring that its ActionConfig implement some specific interface just to get one more property in.
