Has anyone out there had to work out a solution for alerting their users that the (Struts based) system will be taken offline for maintenance? I'm thinking a filter perhaps or some sort of mechanism to insert a simple Javascript for a dialog box to popup. I'd appreciate it if anyone is willing to

I guess I should ask the overall question: Does anyone successfully use the plugin validator with a Struts / Tiles based application? If so how are the action elements setup with regard to the input option? Assuming that you can do the above is it then possible to have multiple pages contributin
