Frank, I had the same question when I was learning Struts. I had to read a large amount of source code to figure it out. One day, for reasons I do not remember now, I read the struts-config_1_1.dtd and came across this little note:
> parameter General-purpose configuration > parameter that can be used to > pass extra information to the > Action object selected by this > action mapping. But let's be serious: who actually reads the DTD? For a document few people probably ever check, it is full of enlightening information. Regards, David -----Original Message----- From: Frank W.
