I wouldn't argue against the points Rick is making, particularly the benefit of central place for configuration information as opposed to marking it out all over the shop. I will throw one thing out there though. When you have lots of Action Mappings and subsequent Action classes that are in a state of change and development being able to add/delete/change targets in the execute method and guarantee the consistency with the struts-config.xml at the top of the same file can have some use.

You still have to code all the parameters for your action mapping in the Action class, so what's the difference time-wise if you code them there or in the struts-config? What's sort of ironic is when Struts came out one of the benefits was touted about how you had a central place to do your configuration and you weren't having to harcode fowards in your controllers. XDoclet with Struts sets you back to the old way of doing things, imo. (Once again, no knock on XDoclet, it's a great tool, I just find its worth with Struts limited at best). -- Rick --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]
