I agree that sub-applications are handicapped by not utilizing some form of inheritance from the default sub-app or "parent" sub-apps. Given that Struts is a Java-based framework, it makes sense that there would be some way to "extend" an application.
I'm probably at the far end of the spectrum in favor of inherited resources and would like to see a fairly comprehensive set of features. That said, I think that Eddie's steps 1 and 2 (data source and property inheritance, respectively) are essential to any multi-app regime and the current behavior seems contrary to what people who use sub-apps (judging from the posts on the subject on the struts-user list) expect when they start using them. Thanks Eddie for pursuing this thread-- I for one think it's an important one. -JT -----Original Message----- From: Eddie Bush [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 4:19 PM To: Struts Developers List Subject: [Proposal] Sub-application inheritence
