I know I've asked this before, and forget how it turned out, so please forgive me for asking again :)
Would it be possible to do an example usage of the DigestingPlugin that sets up static servlet context attributes, as is done by the MemoryPlugIn in the MailReader Example?
Of course, if you're still out of town, don't worry about responding right away. This can wait.
I had done something like it a little before DigestingPlugin was committed, but it faced the challenge that LabelValueBean didn't have a no-arg constructor, and so was hard to use with Digester.
In case the commits weren't announcement enough, I changed the example application so that instead of creating the "serverTypes" list of LVBs in the MemoryDatabasePlugIn, that list is now created by the DigestingPlugIn.
When I have some more time, I'll look for a place in the walking tour to add some information, although work is about to get real busy again.
How would people feel about putting the XML digester rules for the label value beans into the Struts JAR? I can see the argument that it's not really core, and I wouldn't fight about it, but I can see where it would be convenient. For now, I just put it in WEB-INF, which makes the struts-config a little cleaner (because I changed DigestingPlugIn to default to looking in the servlet context if the "source" of either the data XML or digester XML is not specified).
