Dan, I hate to sound daft, but even after the second round of explanation I'm still completely confused about what you're trying to do. Care to give it a third round? I think I would understand better if you gave a chronology of how a single request was serviced.

You can specify a "mode" attribute for multiple views with the same name, like this: <maverick version="2.0" default-view-type="document"> <modules> <shunt-factory provider="org.infohazard.maverick.shunt.LanguageShuntFactory"/> </modules> <commands> <command name="welcome"> <controller class="org.blah.Blah"/> <view name="success" path="en/welcome.jsp"/> <view name="success" mode="fr" path="fr/welcome.jsp"/> <view name="success" mode="de" path="de/welcome.jsp"/> ... </command> </commands> </maverick> The LanguageShuntFactory configures shunts which pick mode based on Accept-Language. The view without a mode becomes the default. You can also specify a mode for a global <views> block, making it easy to define a separate file for the views for each language. Take a look at the maverick.xml for the shunting example: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mav/maverick/examples/shu nting-jsp/WEB-INF/maverick.xml?rev=1.3&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-mar kup It is also worthwhile to look at the Shunt interface: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mav/maverick/src/java/org /infohazard/maverick/flow/Shunt.java?rev=1.4&content-type=text/vnd.viewc vs-markup and the implementation of LanguageShuntFactory (which contains LanguageShunt as an inner class): http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mav/maverick/src/java/org /infohazard/maverick/shunt/LanguageShuntFactory.java?rev=1.4&content-typ e=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup Note that LanguageShunt is considerably more complicated than a "SkinShunt" would be. Really, a SkinShunt would be nothing more than this: public View getView(HttpServletRequest request) throws NoSuitableModeException { String mode = request.getSession().getAttribute("whichSkin"); // Look up this mode in a hashmap return (View)this.modes.get(mode); } Make sense?
