Map, for example, includes several optional operations. * http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/util/Map.html Another strategy is to have two standard ActionContext implementations. One would contain only the operations required by the framework. The other, a subclass of the first, would also contain optional operations. Spring uses this approach to good effect with its ObjectFactory and ApplicationContext members. Likewise, we could have a CoreContext with only what Struts itself needs to get through the day. A larger ApplicationContext could include the other optional methods that we find useful when writing Struts applications. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
