In some of my projects I have run into the same problem as well, and I'm sure others have. It would be nice to have either a core module that provided resources to all modules or atleast a way of specifying a way for a the default resource bundle in modules to inherit values from a core resource bundle as to avoid having to repeat values throughout an application and introduce chances for inconsistency and error. This might be done by specifying an application-wide resource bundle in struts configuration and then have those values within all other module resource bundles (inclding the default module). You could obviously overwrite the values in your module's def. bundle. This would seem an appropriate feature, unless there were other core resources that needed to be shared throughout modules. Then it would seem a module-type enhance would be appropriate. ahh, oh so vague. :) -adam k. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
