We run our lists the same way most other Apache projects do. * http://struts.apache.org/mail.html The Dev lists are like appellate courts. If the answer on the User list is "you can't get there from here", then you can "appeal" to the Dev list to see if we can change "the lay of the land". Regardless of where you post, it is often best to concisely explain *why* you want to do something rather than jump to *how* you think you might want to do it. Often, people have already solved the same problem in a different way. In programming terms, describe the interface of the problem first, and then ask if anyone sees why your suggested implementation doesn't work. Often, the easiest solution is an alternate implementation. A lot of support threads spend three or four posts defining the problem because people jump to what they (think they) want to do without explaining why they want to do it. In any event, please check the mailing list archives for ActionForm and Map, and ask any followup questions on the User list, until you get to the point where people say that the current codebase doesn't support the behavior. Then when someone does suggest moving a thread, please just trust us and do it. -Ted --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
