I think it is a very useful feature, and this is to me this is an obvious case premature optimization. I should mention that I'm a developer at cglib.sf.net, and one of the things on my TODO list is write a bcel-ified bean copier. Webwork would benefit greatly from this, since the configuration is (totally?) static, which means the same beans are copied over and over again. The end result is that the overhead of having action properties work bean-style would probably be negligible, and for sure faster than using the Preferences API in execute(). -Chris ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Opensymphony-webwork mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opensymphony-webwork
