Sorry about that. My hand slipped.
Regarding your factory idea, that's an interesting thought. Maybe make a default factory and move the current instantiation code to that for consistency? I assume you would also provide some alternatives with the Struts distribution like an ImplicitInterfaceActionFormFactory and an ExplicitInterface... blah blah blah. One thing, though: what if I want both of them? I can't think of a good reason why anyone would, but just tossing some ideas around. In general, do you think the factory thing is intuitive enough? It's not quite as obvious what you can do with it as if you just have a couple new features that are well documented/advertised. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
