Just wanted to stick my proboscis in on this particular point (I've been following along this whole discussion by the way)... I view this sort of thing as configuration information, not unlike struts-config. As such, it should I believe, be externalized. So for me, I'd rather have something like this in a property file. In the world of high availability web apps, you don't want to take the app down to change a map in a class when you could, in theory at least, change a config file and reload it on-the-fly, no deployment issues, no downtime, etc. Where I work it takes a minimum of 48 hours to get a prod elevation done unless it's an emergency, and then it require about 10 signatures from senior management... if I had to tell them I needed to change an entry in a map in an Action, they'd kill me for having to take the app down for something like that.
