Oops: "this is to me an obvious case of premature optimization". But optimization is a maybe not the best word for omitting a feature completely :-) I'd like to see properties on results as well as action mappings, which would be applied to the chained action. There are some interesting questions regarding the ordering of all the parameter setting, though. I'd prefer that the action properties overwrite any form parameters. If you're using the properties to parameterize the execution of the action from your config file, you don't want the user to be able to mess with things just by guessing the right property name. -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
