I don't know that I'd do it in a production site of any size, but I believe the struts-example webapp uses an XML file for it's user database. IMO the Struts code shouldn't know where the data is... it should just call methods on data access objects and get the objects it needs in return. I use the J2EE BluePrints DAO pattern because my database isn't one where JDBC makes sense. But I could easily replace the underlying datastore with something else, and never make a change in the Action code. -- Wendy Smoak --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
