Thanks for the help, given the Java Bean standards of getters and setters, is there any way to set a Map or a List from the xml file (something like the way Spring Framework does it)? And thanks for the naming complement, we get quite a few amusing ones, like LaserBeanUtils... :)
There is no way to set a map or a list at the moment. It wouldn't be all that hard to write some Digester rules that did it, but I haven't heard much call for it so far. It is possible to add your own rules to the Digester ruleset used during struts-config processing, but is that really worth it?
For an immediate solution, I'd suggest just writing your mapping class to fit the constraints; just change the name of your method from getIgnore() to getIgnoreList().
There has been a bit of discussion on the dev list about using Spring, or other alternative ways for configuring the system of objects in a Struts application; my conclusion at this point is that we are better off refining the model before changing configuration approaches -- that is, to design a "Struts API bean" which encapsulates what a running Struts application does without being so entangled with the ActionServlet and the Servlet API.

By the way, "LaserActionMapping" is the coolest action classname I've ever seen. If there was an award for these things, I think you would win :o)

Hi all, I am trying to extend the ActionMapping Class with my own, LaserActionMapping. I have a List that I want to populate with MessageResource keys,. I have the configuration below, and my class. The setter is never being called, does anyone have any suggestions?
<action path="/otherparties" type="com.llic.web.action.OtherPartiesAction" parameter="method" input="newBusiness/OtherPartiesTab.jsp" name="otherPartiesForm" scope="request" validate="true" className="com.llic.web.action.LaserActionMapping" > <set-property property="ignore" value="annuity.button.next"/> <set-property property="ignore" value="annuity.button.previous"/> <set-property property="ignore" value="annuity.defaultmethod"/> <set-property property="ignore" value="annuity.reloadmethod"/>
<forward name="load" path="newBusiness/OtherPartiesTab.jsp"/> <forward name="next" path="newBusiness/OtherPartiesTab.jsp"/> <forward name="addnewparty" path="newBusiness/OtherPartiesTab.jsp"/> <forward name="removeparty" path="newBusiness/OtherPartiesTab.jsp"/> <forward name="updatechanges" path="newBusiness/OtherPartiesTab.jsp"/> <forward name="loadParty" path="newBusiness/OtherPartiesTab.jsp"/>
</action>
/* * Created on Feb 8, 2005 * */ package com.llic.web.action;
