Skip, There is a pretty good tutorial out there to create a component using the struts tags - this is what I did for exactly what you are doing. Granted it is not as "pretty" as <s:text ...>stuff here</s:text> but it does the job and now that I have it written I can use it in all the places I need to. Check out http://www.vitarara.org/cms/node/86 for the example. Al

The more I look at and play with this scenario, the more I am starting to thing that using the default XHTML theme is not the way to go. I would be much better served, I think to use the simple theme, giving me much more control over layout and additional tags around my form fields. Is that a proper assumption, and a more 'struts2-ish' way of approaching things?
