The SSL extension from my JavaWorld article of Feb 15 uses the "action" tag's "parameter" attribute. That has since been modified so that the version available at http://struts.ditlinger.com uses the "set-property" tag. This was done to avoid the exact limitation you are finding with the "parameter" attribute.

You can use a deliminated list of items, and then use the String tokenizer to pull them out. StringTokenizer helperClasses = new StringTokenizer(mapping.getParameter(),";"); int i = -1; Object[] helpers = new Object[helperClasses.countTokens()]; while (helperClasses.hasMoreTokens()) { String helperClass = helperClasses.nextToken().trim(); if ((helperClass==null) || (helperClass.length()==0)) continue; // ... } You can also extend ActionMappings and use the digester <set-property> feature to set your own properties. Matt Raible does this with his workflow extension. http://www.livinglogic.de/Struts/ After that, you're into modifying how the ActionServlet parses the config. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY US -- Developing Java Web Applications with Struts -- Tel: +1 585 737-3463 -- Web: http://husted.com/about/services Steve Earl wrote: > > Does anyone know if you can specify more than a single parameter on the > actionMapping definition within the struts-config.xml file? > > The reason for the question is that I'd like to do something similar to > what's specified below - have an action which processes several related > tasks using a parameter to distinguish them.
