Hi All, Why can't we have this sort of functionality in the Framework itself. A Base class for a Generic Service and all the Custom Services classes that User wants can extend that Service and details can be entered in the struts-config.xml . Right now i am planning to have another xml for services and when the BaseClass is initialized all the Services are created and are stored in a map which can be accessed by the Derived ActionClasses. Or we can create each service as a Plug-in (in which case we don't need another XML File) and store them in a Class which is implements the ServiceLocator pattern and all the Custom Action Classes can get these Services from that Service Locator.
Let me know your ideas..

I like to use a ServiceLocater (created and initialized at application start) exposed through the BaseAction.
