I would suggest that implementing extends might have a higher priority than some of the other things that we've been discussing. If the issue is locking the DTD until extends is implemented, then so be it. Extends would solve *so* many problems, and eliminate *so* many "forest from the trees" bugs. For example, with extends, we don't really need action-beans. People can define a base mapping with whatever settings they need, and just extend it elsewhere. And don't get me started on what this could mean for DynaActionForms :) -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
