IIRC, there's some ongoing work to provide an "extends" capability in DynaActionForm definitions. In the mean time, though, you can leverage the fact that struts-config.xml is an XML document, and use XML entities to encapsulate the common chunks. Consider:
<?xml version="1.0" ?> <DOCTYPE struts-config ... [ <!ENTITY shared-props-1 "shared-properties-1.xml"> <!ENTITY shared-props-2 "shared-properties-2.xml"> ]> <struts-config> ... <form-bean name="myBean" type="..."> <form-property>...unique property ...</form-property> &shared-props-1; &shared-props-2; </form-bean> <form-bean name="anotherBean" type="..."> <form-property>...unique property ...</form-property> &shared-props-1; </form-bean> ... </struts-config> Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
