Perfect! What you did in JSF is exatcly what we need: "the controller servlet automatically recognize 'META-INF/struts-config.xml' resources in any JAR files that were included in the application."

This makes it very easy to package a module, or some other sub-unit of an overall webapp, as a single JAR file that self-configures. > Joe Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
